This recipe showcases the freshest, ripest summer tomatoes you can find. The only cooking involved (aside from preparing your pasta) is warming a bit of olive oil, which infuses the herbs and takes the raw edge off the tomato.

This vegetarian chili uses some secret tricks to boost the flavor without adding calories!

Submitted by SP_STEPF

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.
