Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken
This may look plain from the photo. (White food is hard to photograph...without adding garnishes...that I decided not to add for this one.) This may look simple. What is hard to see in the photo is the amazing amount of flavor loaded into the sauce and soaked into the chicken.

Lots and lots and lots of slow cooker meals are heavier, soupier, stewier, … [Read more...]
