Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken
Slow cooked chicken is served in a creamy sauce made with cream cheese, cream of chicken soup and Italian seasoning and served over rice or pasta.
Ingredients
- 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in to bite size chunks (about 1-1/2 pounds)
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 pkg. (.7oz) Good Seasons Zesty Italian salad dressing dry mix (or 2 Tbsp of the homemade dry mix!)
- 8 oz cream cheese, cut in to small cubes
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
Instructions
- Stir butter, water, and dry dressing mix in crockpot. Add the chicken and toss.
- Spread the cream of chicken over the top, then dot with the cubes of cream cheese.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours until the chicken is cooked through and registers at least 165 degrees.
- Stir well and serve over rice or pasta.
Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- You can use cream of chicken OR cream of mushroom. My fam just happens to prefer cream of chicken because they don't like the little chunks of mushrooms.
- You do not need to buy the Zesty Italian dry salad dressing mix - you can make your own and store it in a mason jar! It's so easy - check out the recipe here. 2 Tbsp of this mix is equivalent to 1 of the single serving packages you can buy at the store.
- I almost ALWAYS double this recipe. It's so good and it disappears quickly. If there is any left you can have it the next day for lunch.
- If your sauce is too thick for your liking, you can add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of warm chicken broth before serving.
