This is one of my favorite crockpot recipes. Its not gourmet by any means, but it sure is comfort food. This recipe is all over the Internet. I adjusted it by leaving out the mushrooms and adding a can of peas.

Creamy Italian Chicken in the Crockpot

6 servings

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (I like my chicken cut into chunks)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope dried Italian salad dressing mix (Good Seasonings is the brand I use)
8 ounces low fat cream cheese, softened
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can low fat cream of chicken soup, undiluted

Place the chicken breast halves in the crock pot. Sprinkle with the Italian dressing mix. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.  Combine the cream cheese and soup until smooth and blended. (I sometimes need to microwave the mixture for a minute to smooth out the lumps. Pour soup mixture over chicken. Add a can of peas. Cook 1 more hour.

Serve over hot cooked rice or pasta.

I kept waiting to post this recipe after I got pictures of the end result.  But even by my standards the pictures were pretty bad.  So I am posting without pictures.  Growing up I thought the only way to serve sweet potatoes was candied.  As in Candied Yams for Thanksgiving, with tons of brown sugar, butter and marshmallows.  Then I grew up and realized you could eat them baked, like a regular potato.  But again, they always had brown sugar and butter on them.  This is a savory recipe - no brown sugar in site.  And I think the salt and garlic powder really compliment the sweet potato.  The original recipe called for pork but I make it with chicken.

Crockpot Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Lay the sliced sweet potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.  Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes.  Sprinkle with 1/2 the spices.  Lay the chicken pieces onto the sweet potatoes.  Sprinkle with the rest of the spices.  Cook on low 6-8 hours.
