Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken
Description
The chicken breasts are seasoned with a mild blend of Mr's Dash Original seasoning and black pepper, then layered in a slow cooker. Two cans of cream of chicken soup and a packet of Italian dressing mix add moisture, tang, and herbs, while cubed cream cheese melts during cooking to thicken the sauce and contribute richness.
Cooked on low for 5 to 6 hours or high for 3 hours, the chicken becomes tender enough to shred easily with forks, after which it is mixed thoroughly with the creamy sauce. Milk can be added to adjust the consistency if the sauce is too thick.
Serving suggestions include noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes that soak up the flavorful gravy. A sprinkle of chopped parsley adds freshness and color at serving.
This recipe yields about 8 servings and offers moderate calories and protein per portion, not including any side dishes.
