Heavenly 5-Ingredient Creamy Chicken
This recipe is designed for a slow cooker (crockpot), making the chicken incredibly tender and the sauce velvety smooth.
Ingredients
- 4-6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (trimmed)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of Chicken Soup (condensed)
- 1 packet (0.7 oz) Italian Dressing Mix (dry seasoning)
- 4 oz Cream Cheese (cubed and softened)
- 1/2 cup Chicken Broth (or water
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the top.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this over the chicken.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 4–5 hours (or High for 2–3 hours) until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Add the Creaminess: About 30 minutes before serving, add the cubed cream cheese to the pot. Stir gently until the cheese melts into the sauce, creating a rich, golden gravy.
- Serve: Serve the chicken whole or shredded over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice to soak up all that extra sauce.
Quick Tips
- The Golden Look: If you want that seared look from the photo, quickly brown the chicken in a skillet with a tablespoon of oil for 2 minutes per side before putting it in the slow cooker.
- Garnish: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or cracked black pepper on top adds a nice pop of color and flavor
