Very Good 4.3/5

I love this lasagna, it's so easy to make and better for you than the original. I just let someone outside my family try it this weekend, and they thought it was great. Try with my herbed monkey bread. Both recipes can be put together the night before. Note: Parmesan cheese is not included in nutritional calculation.

Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken
Very Good 4.5/5

Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.

Technically this is a crustless quiche, but the addition of flour makes for a delicious crusty bottom and sides.

A very delicious variation on chicken salad. Using Dijon and honey in the dressing make the difference. It's great to make a whole batch and just eat on it all week. Super crunchy, super good, you'll want to serve this at all your brunches and lunches.
