Yum, yum - Chicken with creamy chive sauce

[steph_co 9]

Got this out of this book: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Low-Carb-Cooker-Recipes-Better-Gardens/dp/069621895X/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226149604&sr=8-9]Low Carb Slow Cooker Recipes[/ame]

I guess the book got low reviews on Amazon. There are some of the recipes that have high carbs, but there are some easy to find ones that ARE low carb. At least if you're not a strict Atkins follower, these are some great recipes. I'm more of the South Beach school of thought.

ANYWAY....

1/4 C butter

1/2 C dry white wine

1 can golden mushroom Soup

1 packet of italian dressing mix

4 oz of chive and onion cream cheese spread

6 boneless chicken breasts

Lay the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Melt the butter in a medium-sized sauce pan. Add in the wine, Soup, dressing mix and cream cheese. Stir and heat on medium until combined. Then pour the sauce over the chicken breasts. Cook the chicken 4-5 hours on low.

It says you can garnish with fresh chives and use whole wheat Pasta. I skipped the chives and used spaghetti squash instead of the Pasta. OMG...SOOO good. I can't get enough of this stuff. Even when I just was cooking up the sauce, I wanted to eat the sauce! It's even spectacular reheated. And another benefit - crockpot-cooked chicken is REALLY soft and easier to chew, IMO.
