Squirt a small amount of Italian dressing at bottom of crock-pot.

Place two chicken breasts in crock.

Pour some of the Italian dressing on the chicken.

Sprinkle half of cheese onto the chicken.

Sprinkle Italian seasoning onto the chicken.

Place next two chicken breasts into crock-pot, if possible not directly on top of the first breasts.

Oh yummy, I am trying this one. Can you cut it in half? There is only one of me.

Sounds good - I'll try this one!

It's usually just me, too. I halved it, and saved a serving for lunch later in the week. I thought about freezing it for dinner another time, but I was afraid the potatoes and carrots would get mushy being frozen, thawed, and reheated.

OK - everything is in the crockpot - can't wait until dinner tonight!

We had this for dinner last night and it was yummy! Hubby loved it and gave it 2 thumbs up. Will definitely make this one again. Thanks MomLane for the recipe. (And I have leftovers for lunch today too!)

Any more crockpot recipes to try?

I'm so glad it was well-received! I love the way the house smells once the Crockpot gets going. It's just homey and comforting. I have loads of slow-cooker recipes. I'll get my butt in posting mode!
