Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet Dry Italian salad dressing mix
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked pasta or rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot in a single layer.
Sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the chicken.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese for 15-20 seconds in the microwave (this makes it easier to mix).
Add the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and minced garlic to the softened cream cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring that all the chicken is coated.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked thoroughly.
Once done, use two forks to shred the chicken into large chunks or leave the breasts whole, based on personal preference.
Optional: Serve the Italian chicken over cooked pasta or rice, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
