Ingredients
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened and cubed
• 1 (10½ oz) can cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup chicken broth or water
• 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
Directions
Prep the chicken
Place the chicken in a 4–6 quart slow cooker in a single layer.
Mix the sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth (or water) until smooth.
Layer everything
Scatter cream cheese cubes over the chicken, then pour the sauce evenly on top to cover.
Slow cook to perfection
Cook covered:
• LOW for 4–6 hours
• HIGH for 2–3 hours
Chicken should be tender and easy to shred.
Shred and stir
Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir well until the melted cream cheese blends into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Let it rest
Leave on Warm for 5–10 minutes to thicken slightly and deepen the flavor.
Serving Idea
Spoon over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a rich, comforting meal everyone will love.
