     There is not way that each serving has 42 g of protein. Chicken has 6.5 g of protein per oz. 5 servings x 42 =210g. Divide that by 6.5 and thats 50oz of chicken. Each breast would have to be over 16oz apeice. Maybe a little less depending on small amount of protein in other ingred. - 1/15/10

     I loved this dish, although between my husband and I we got more than 5 servings out of it. I think the next time I make it, I will probably use only 1 can of tomatoes and will use 4 oz of cream cheese instead of 8. - 11/10/12

     Excellent. My hubby and I love mushrooms, so doubled the amount. Not crazy about cooked spinach (love it raw) but decided to give it a try. Liked it so much didn't even mind the "stringy green stuff" as DH called it...lol A real keeper. Will definitely be making again! Thanks. - 10/21/10

     I used one can of tomatoes and no fat cream cheese. Served over fine egg noodles. It was OK but not sure I will make it again. - 11/16/18

     super yummy!!! I added a little red wine and some hot sauce to spice it up, but otherwise just followed the easy and delicious directions! - 2/2/11

     I couldnt find Italian chicken slow-cooker seasoning. Used Italian seasoned stewed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, & garlic powder. It was very bland & texture of chicken was not good. Will do it again, but will bake the chicken separately & add something w/more flavor to the sauce. Hot pepper flakes? - 9/22/10

     the cream cheese needs to be softened and mixed with the tomato mixture for non-cream cheese lovers. My husband took one bite and threw it away.
    I liked it enough to eat it. Definitely liked the mushrooms in it. I don't think I'll make it again. But, if you like tomato based stuff-you'll like it - 9/11/10

     My whole family loved this! Made enough for 5 of us, with seconds for some, and leftovers besides. That means the calorie count will be even lower. I didn't even thaw my chicken first--just threw it in frozen. Super easy! - 2/28/10

     Made it tonight. I used one can of diced tomatoes, no mushrooms and 2 T Italian Seasonings to tailor the recipe to my family's taste. The cream cheese does not dissolve and I needed to stir it a lot to mix it in (not good for my family to see chunks of cream cheese!) The taste is great. - 11/12/09

     This sounds good to me. Since husband doesn't like mushrooms, that is the only thing I will omit. I am out to get a new crockpot and make this ! - 10/19/09
  • KFACKRELL
     This was so much tastier than the usual crockpot fare! The spinach and mushrooms really made it extra special. We will definitely be adding this dish to our favorites! - 9/24/09
