We are cleaning out the fridge and cupboards of all those extra things that for one, I don’t remember buying, and two, can’t travel with us when we move. I started with the fridge, and found an almost full bottle of Italian dressing. We aren’t big on garden salads so finding this was a surprise for me. So I got creative, and some what lazy and made this Italian chicken.

What you need:
- chicken breasts one per person
- 1 cup of Italian dressing
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 4 carrots, diced
- 5 potatoes, diced
How to make Slow Cooker Italian Chicken
Place your chicken breast in the bottom of your slow cooker, covered it with half of the Italian dressing (1/2 a cup), add half your cheese, roughly 1/4 cup.
Add your diced carrots and potatoes on top of your chicken and cover with your remaining Italian dressing. Cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4. When cooking root vegetables in my slow cooker I like to cook on low for the longer time. Occasionally they won’t cook through on high in the shorter amount of time.
About 30 minutes before your meal is finished add the rest of your cheese on top and recover.
The pictures I have don’t do this meal justice. I really need to redo them. I couldn’t get enough of the veggies, they tasted so good, as did the chicken, but, oh, my, those potatoes and carrots.
Add ins: You may want to add some bacon bits to this meal when you add the remaining cheese, or even when you serve it. Frenchy’s Crispy Fried Onions are also amazing on top when serving.
