Easy mid-week meal

I haven't updated in a while, but we've been repeating meals (see Slow Cooker Asian Pork for instance or Asian Steak Salad, but with chicken) and improvising some. Tonight was definitely one of those improvised meals, but not high in fat or carbs, and really tasty.  We buy frozen Chicken Cordon Bleu from Sam's Club - it's ready to go in the oven, ready in 30 minutes (from frozen) and really tasty. And it's only about 12 grams of carbs, even though it's breaded.  Tonight we did that with a green salad and a cucumber/radish salad.  The latter is yummy and easy, and so I'll include the recipe here, even though there's not much else to mention.

From quick and easy meals (diabetic living - A Better Homes and Gardens Book):

Cucumber-Radish Slaw


2 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp Splenda
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 of a medium English cucumber, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 cup radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced (I use less of these)
thinly sliced red onion to taste
2 Tbsp finely chopped green onion

In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Add cucumber, radishes, red onion, and green onions. Toss to coat. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 2 hours.
