Recipe: Slow Cooker Zesty Italian Shredded Chicken

Tried this recipe this week and it went over so well that Anna was asking me to make it more often and everyone was eager for leftovers during the week.  LEFTOVERS got love.  That's saying something.  Had to post the recipe here as a big time keeper:

Slow Cooker Zesty Italian Shredded Chicken
  • 4-6 chicken breasts (frozen is ok)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 pkg Good Seasons italian dressing mix (dry)
  • 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  1. Combine chicken, broth, butter, and dressing mix in crock pot and cook on high for 3.5 - 4 hours.  Chicken should shred into small pieces.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and cook on high for another half hour.  Add milk or heavy cream to thin the sauce if it's too thick.  Serve over noodles or rice.  (we topped with garden fresh diced tomatoes and parmesan cheese as well - so yum!)
Original recipe in this link also lists what to use as a homemade substitute for the italian dressing mix if you don't have that on hand.

Another easy delicious one we tried this week that I recommend - crock pot Italian beef sandwiches. More yum!
