Slow Cooker Chicken In Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Sauce

One thing that I love is how almost any recipe can be adapted to use a Shirley J product. I found this recipe on the Campbell Soup's website. It looks amazing and I also love that it is a Slow Cooker recipe. I LOVE my slow cooker.
Anyways, with just by substituting for Whisk Bliss I was able to cut about 500 calories, 6 grams of fat and 800 mg of sodium. Plus I improved the taste. What?! Have you ever eaten a condensed cream soup plain? It's not very appetizing. I do eat Whisk Bliss plain and I love it! So easy, so much healthier and it will improve you favorite recipes!
Don't believe me! Try it!
 
 
Slow Cooker Chicken In Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Sauce

1 cup of Whisk Bliss and 2 cups water
1 cup Chablis or other dry white wine
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pitted kalamata or oil-cured olives
2 tablespoons drained capers ...
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup jarred sun-dried tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves (optional)
2 cups regular long-grain white rice, cooked according to package directions (about 6 cups)


How to Make It

1 Mix your Whisk Bliss and water and bring to a simmer on your stove.

2 Stir the soup, wine, olives, capers, garlic, artichokes and tomatoes in a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. Add the chicken and turn to coat.

3 Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the basil, if desired. Serve with the rice.
