Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 1 packet dry Italian salad dressing mix
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 4 cups pasta or mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, dry Italian dressing mix, minced garlic, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 5-6 hours or HIGH heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it into smaller pieces using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir it into the creamy sauce. Let it cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on LOW to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the creamy Italian chicken over cooked pasta or mashed potatoes for a comforting and delicious meal.
