Slow-cooker Chicken and Asparagus with Cream Spinach

I'm moving this weekend, so for a while now I've been avoiding the grocery store and trying to make use of the random food supplies I have on hand. This started out as a way to use up a bunch of asparagus and ended up becoming a delicious dish that I am going to make again soon, because it's basic ingredients that I have on hand more often than not, and it required like 10 minutes of work. Who doesn't love that?


Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise into 3 strips each
• 4 frozen spinach portions (or 1 cup thawed and drained)
• 8-10 stalks of asparagus, halved with tough ends trimmed off
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1/4 cup skim milk
• Salt/Pepper/Cayenne to taste

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a slow cooker over low heat and cook for 5-7 hours, until chicken is cooked through and cream sauce has thickened. Serve hot! It's yummy over fettuccine or spiral pasta, spooned on a bowl of steamed rice, or even in a bun!
