Ingredients

  • 4 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (about 1.5 to 2 lbs)
  • 1-2 1-2 10.5 ounce cans cream of chicken soup, (two if you want a thinner sauce)
  • 1 1 packet dry Zesty Italian dressing mix (Regular is fine but I like zesty better)
  • 1 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
  • 1/2 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the chicken in a crockpot and pour the cream of chicken soup on top. Sprinkle dry Italian dressing mix on top. Top with cream cheese and pour in chicken broth.
  2. Cook on low in the crockpot for at least 4-6 hours. Once chicken is done you can remove it from the crockpot and shred it with two forks or with a mixer. Stir the sauce in the crockpot until the cream cheese is fully combined and then stir in the chicken. If you feel the sauce is too thick you can thin it to your preferred consistency with a little more chicken broth or milk. Serve over pasta or rice.

Notes

  • Place the chicken in a Instant Pot and pour the cream of chicken soup on top. Sprinkle dry Italian dressing mix on top. Top with cream cheese and pour in chicken broth. Make sure lid is in locked position and the knob is in the sealing position.
