Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry Italian salad dressing mix
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • Freshly ground black pepper, optional

Method
 

  1. Place chicken in a 6-quart slow cooker and season with the dressing mix and a few grinds of pepper. Top with cream cheese cubes and pour the soup over all without stirring.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F and shreds easily.
  3. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred, then vigorously whisk the sauce in the slow cooker until smooth. Stir the chicken back in and warm through for 5 minutes.
  4. Spoon over pasta, rice, or rolls and serve hot with optional parsley or Parmesan on top.

Notes

This recipe is very forgiving—you can swap in chicken thighs without changing a thing. If the sauce seems too thick after stirring, thin it with a splash of warm milk or pasta water.
