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)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot in a single layer.
Step 2
Sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the chicken.
Step 3
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese for 15-20 seconds in the microwave (this makes it easier to mix).
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring that all the chicken is coated.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked thoroughly.
Step 8
Once done, use two forks to shred the chicken into large chunks or leave the breasts whole, based on personal preference.
Step 9
Optional: Serve the Italian chicken over cooked pasta or rice, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
