Italian Crockpot Chicken


I am branching out on my crockpot skills and found this delectable recipe. I love tangy italian dressing, imagine a breast marinated and stewed in it. Mmmm

2 lbs chicken breast, fresh or frozen
2 cloves garlic, minced ( 1/2 tsp dried)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cumin ( or chili powder for both spices)
1/2 cup water (optional if using frozen chicken)
1 cup Italian dressing

Dump all ingredients together in crockpot.  Cook on low 6-8 hrs (until meat in 160 F internal)

Notes:
Some olive oil smeared on the bottom of the crockpot might help prevent the chicken from leaving those stains on the bottom of the pan.  I served it over rice (rice cookers are amazing) and steamed veggies (from the freezer).  My kids really snarfed this recipe down.  I used leftover chicken in a chicken soup recipe (juices included).
