Very Good 4.5/5

I found this recipe in the Kraft food & family Holiday 2009 magazine. The original recipe had 190 calories and 9 grams of fat. I entered this recipe into the recipe calculator to see if I could make it less "fatty" by substituting the cream cheese with fat free cream cheese and the vanilla pudding with sugar free, fat free vanilla pudding. I also substituted the original canned pumpkin for no salt added canned pumpkin. I'm only putting this recipe on here so I can remember the changes I made to the recipe! :D The original recipe can be found here http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/pumpkin-cream-cupcakes-114682.aspx

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.
