You will likely be all turkeyed out this month—and extra busy as the holiday season revs up. Let us help you with this super simple, yet extremely delicious slow cooker chicken recipe. With a few minor tweaks to a traditional Creamy Italian Chicken, it’s actually waistline friendly too, which is a good thing as we enter holiday cookie season.

Ingredients:

• 1-1/14 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• ½ cup reduced-fat Italian dressing

• 4 tbsp. reduced-fat cream cheese

• fresh parsley

Preparation:

Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and pour the dressing over. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken breasts are tender.
