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 the best recipe I believe I've ever made. My husband loved it. The guys he works with loved the smell. He never offered to give them any. Thanks - 9/24/08

You marinate the chicken in the dressing before you bread it
