Great slow cooker recipe. I used ground chicken breast and browned it part way , just to speed up the cooking time. My family thought it tasted just like hot wings and blue cheese dip. I purchased the blue cheese by the pound off the salad bar at our local grocery store. $4.99 per pound and 4oz of the pre-packaged blue cheese was $3.89. The half cup cost me about 0.75 cents.

This was REALLY good! I just put my chicken breasts in whole and frozen, in about 4 hours the chicken was so tender that it shredded in the crock pot super easy! We ate ours over noodles and I think maybe it would be better as a dip for crackers or maybe even bread chunks. We'll definitely make it again, but maybe next time not as the main dinner dish, as a dip for the next party. YUMMY!

Yummy, this is SO creamy and full of flavor! Both my DH and DS gobbled it up and asked for seconds, and I had a hard time limiting myself to a small helping. I wish the calorie count wasn't quite so high because this easy and flavorful dish is hard to beat! I did use whole wheat pasta and light sour cream. You could easily leave out the blue cheese if you don't like that flavor but we love it!
