The cream of chicken soup and cream cheese makes the most delicious gravy. It is good on top of egg noodles, rice, mashed potatoes, and if you're low carb use cauliflower mashed potatoes.

Weight Watcher Points

¾ cup serving size for italian chicken (not noodles)

This creamy Italian Chicken recipe is a good example of why you shouldn't use the nutrition info calculator that WW provides to figure out points for recipes you see online. The chicken is calculated into the nutrition info so of course, it's going to be wrong. Chicken is a zero point food. The nutrition info gives you 8 points per serving and the recipe builder gives 3 on the blue and purple plan.

What Crock Pots are the Best?

When choosing a slow cooker think of the size of your family first. Do you have a large family of 6 or more? You probably want a larger crockpot that is 7 qt or more. For smaller families that are 4 or less choose a 4 qt slow cooker and just adjust the recipe ingredients in half. No need to change the cooking times.
