Creamy Italian Chicken Crock Pot Dinner
As the leaves are starting to fall, and a there is a slight chill in the air, I can feel that we are on the cusp of Fall.
I love this time of year.
For dinners, I always start to think of the Crock Pot as the seasons change. I love throwing the ingredients in the crock pot in the morning, and smelling the dinner all day as it slow cooks and warms the house.
My family of five just enjoyed a very creamy and delicious crock pot dinner tonight to break it in for the Fall.
This is such an easy recipe with just a handful of ingredients. The zesty italian dressing mix really spices up the chicken and the cream cheese block that is added in with an hour left of cooking, gives the dish its signature creaminess.
Here’s how to make it…..
Creamy Italian Chicken Ingredients: Cream cheese block, butter, cream of chicken soup, 3-4 chicken breasts, zesty italian dressing mix
Spray Crock Pot
Place Chicken Breasts in Crock Pot
Mix zesty italian dressing mix into 1/2 cup water
Pour dressing mix onto chicken breasts
Layer on the can of cream of chicken soup and half stick of butter
After cooking on low for 3 hours, use forks to shred chicken. Then add in a block of cream cheese and cook for 1 1/2 more hours
Dish will look like this when it is all finished. Serve over rice – Absolutely Delicious!
