Italian Crockpot Chicken
Description
This recipe places seasoned chicken breasts in a crockpot coated with non-stick spray. A mixture of cream of chicken soup, cubed room-temperature cream cheese, and dry Italian dressing seasoning is poured over the chicken. It slow cooks on low (5-6 hours) or high (4 hours) until the chicken is tender enough to shred easily with forks.
After shredding, the creamy sauce combines with the chicken pieces, creating a thick, flavorful mixture. Prepared egg noodles serve as a base, absorbing the sauce for a satisfying texture contrast.
The dish can be adapted by adding vegetables like peas or broccoli during the last hour of cooking for a complete meal. Chicken thighs may be used instead of breasts, and salt is generally not added due to seasoning in the canned soup. Leftover sauce and chicken can be reheated gently.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
- 2 cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz each, canned
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature, cubed
- .6 oz dry salad dressing mix Zesty Italian

Notes
- Add vegetables such as peas or broccoli during the last hour for a complete meal.
- Spray the crockpot or use liners to simplify cleanup.
- You may substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs or a combination of thighs and breasts.
- Season with salt after cooking if needed, as the soup contains salt already.
