Italian Chicken

I'm always looking for simple, easy to make recipes that are tasty but healthy. They have to be clean - my version of clean - organic - protein - veggies - no starches.

My two favorite types of food are Mexican and Italian. Both can be very fattening. So I'm always looking for ways to get my Mexican or Italian fix with out all the extra weight gain. 

Here's my version of Italian Chicken. It's super easy to make and very yummy. I cook it in a crock pot on low for about 7 hours. You can serve it with whole wheat pasta, quinoa, or Jeep Momma's version of pasta -- sliced zucchini.

I like to add a lot of mushrooms to my Italian Chicken for many reasons. One is I love mushrooms but they are also very good for you. Here are 5 reasons you should eat mushrooms.
