Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix (dry packet)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped, for garnish)
- 4 servings Pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with a small amount of butter.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the dry Italian dressing mix, softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, minced garlic, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter on top of the mixture in small pieces, evenly distributed.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. You can also cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours if desired.
Step 7
About 30 minutes before serving, use two forks to gently shred the chicken in the crock pot (this step is optional, as you can leave the chicken breasts whole if preferred). Stir the shredded chicken with the sauce to combine.
Step 8
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional black pepper or salt, if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the creamy Italian chicken over your choice of pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy your comforting and creamy Italian chicken dish!
