Equipment
- 1 large slow cooker or crock pot
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped into large chunks
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup sliced banana peppers
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 8 oz shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups Zesty Robusto Italian dressing
Instructions
- Layer the Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in an even layer at the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Add the Chicken: Place the chopped chicken breasts over the cauliflower.
- Top with Banana Peppers: Spread the sliced banana peppers evenly over the chicken.
- Cheese in the Middle: Place the cheeses right in the center of the crockpot, on top of the chicken and peppers.
- Season: Sprinkle the garlic, black pepper, and salt evenly over the ingredients.
- Pour the Dressing: Finally, pour the heavy cream and Zesty Robusto Italian dressing all over the top, making sure everything is coated well.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and the cauliflower is soft. Give it a stir every few hours.
- Serve: Once done, give the mixture a gentle stir to combine the cheeses with the rest of the ingredients. Serve with crusty bread, over creamy mashed potatoes, hearty rice, or enjoy it on its own as a creamy, savory stew.
