Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Fresh or thawed, not frozen
  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup Low sodium can be substituted
  • 1 cup chicken broth Low sodium can be substituted
  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened for best results
  • 2 Tbsp butter Melted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by softening the cream cheese to ensure it melts smoothly.
  2. Lay the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, Italian dressing mix, and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 4 to 5 hours.
  2. Check the chicken at the 4-hour mark; if needed, cover and continue cooking until fully done.
  3. Once cooked, shred the chicken with a fork and stir the sauce to combine any separated ingredients.

Notes

For a lighter version, consider using half Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese, and opt for low-fat varieties of soup and broth. Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge; add a splash of milk when reheating if the sauce is too thick.
