Creamy tomato crockpot italian chicken

great for your own variation! change/add veggies or the amount of chicken.
i made this from taking ideas from 2 other recipes.
very yummy. i used only 2 chicken breasts when i made it, because i have such a small slow cooker and there was ALOT of sauce, so you can add more chicken with out changing the amount of other ingredients. the nutrient info is for 3 chicken breasts, 5 servings. i served this over whole wheat pasta ( not included in the calculations) there is plenty of this with just 2 chicken breasts. might also go well over rice or egg noodles. you can also use a whole 8 oz of fat free or 1/3 fat cream cheese, i did half and half (as is the nutrition info)Submitted by: TIFANIEMARIE

This is an incredibly simple recipe that the whole family will love. If you don't tell your loved ones, they will think it is ricotta but get the benefits of the soy protein. This requires little prep time. Most of the time is the cooking time.Submitted by: RUNNING2LIVE
