My niece likes me to make this for every family event. No matter what! So easy and can be used to glam up any meal.

Serving suggestion? Depends... Not sure of the calorie content in this, but a yummy yummy sandwich would be Extra Sourdough Bread, leftover turkey, cream cheese and 2 TBLS Cranberry Sauce. Yu-uuum!

You can make this recipe with less sugar if you want it more tart or use splenda for those of you that cook with it.

Very Good 4.5/5

I actually got the basics of this recipe when I went to a tops meeting with my mother in law! Get em crispy enough and they are soo tasty! Like eating chips or popcorn but without most of the guilt because they are so jam packed with protein and only have under 200 calories a serving. It feeds four as an appetizer but I'm not gonna lie, I've sat down and had em for lunch and ate an entire batch! They even have a good amont of fiber so enjoy!

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.
