Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Recipe
Description
This Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Recipe involves layering boneless, skinless chicken breasts with cream of chicken soup, Italian dressing seasoning, chicken broth, and diced cream cheese in a crock pot. Cooking slowly on low for 4 to 6 hours allows the chicken to become tender and easily shredded, while the cream cheese melts into a creamy sauce combined with the seasoned broth base. It is important not to cook on high to avoid curdling the cream cheese.
Once cooked, the chicken is shredded and returned to the slow cooker to absorb more flavor from the sauce. The finished dish can be served as a main protein topping for grains or mashed potatoes, providing a rich and flavorful meal. The recipe’s use of store-bought soup and seasoning packets makes it convenient for slow cooking enthusiasts.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 5 days to maintain freshness and safety. The mild seasoning and creamy texture make it flexible for pairing with various sides.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 ounces

Instructions

Notes
- Do not cook on high heat to avoid cream cheese curdling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
