    This recipe is from a ‘McCormick Slow Cookers’ seasoning package. It’s pretty much as listed there, with the addition of putting it over Linguine. I’ve had this one many times, and the tomato flavor is so good I keep thinking I could just use the sauce over pasta alone. Combine the great flavor with chicken that’s falling off the bone from a day in the slow cooker, and you’ll need extra portions on this one (they suggest 8 servings on the package, I’ve calculated calories based on 4, I generally eat it all in two servings)!

    INGREDIENTS:
    • 1 package McCormick Slow Cookers Italian Herb Chicken Seasoning
    • 2 1/2 lbs chicken parts
    • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) fresh mushrooms, halved or sliced
    • 2 cans (14.5 oz. each) stewed tomatoes, undrained
    • 1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
    • 8 oz. linguine
    DIRECTIONS:
    1. Spread mushrooms evenly across bottom of slow cooker.
    2. Trim unwanted skin and fat from chicken pieces and lay them evenly over the mushrooms.
    3. Mix the seasoning, tomatoes, and tomato paste until blended. I substitute a quart of whole canned tomatoes for the two cans of stewed tomatoes. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and mushrooms.
    4. Cook 8 hours on low, or 4 hours on high. The meat will generally be more tender with the longer cooking time.
    5. When finished cooking, place chicken pieces over prepared linguine (I use wheat linguine), and spoon the sauce and mushrooms over the top.
