Crock Pot Week 5: Italian Chicken

So as you can see from my lack of crock pot posts, I am not very good at keeping a New Year's resolution. But I sure am trying!

It hasn't helped that we have been extremely busy the past couple of weeks. We went sledding with my company two weeks ago and I was completely beat after, and last weekend we moved into a new place and got our precious little Mo Memmott, which again, I was completely beat. (If you didn't get a chance to read my last post with pictures of our princess, here you go!)

Anywho, this week I wasn't going to do a crock pot meal because I hadn't gone shopping for stuff to make anything in particular, and was just feeling really lazy. I mustered up enough energy to look on Pinterest for a recipe, hoping I would find one that we had all the ingredients to. Luckily I found a recipe that we had all the ingredients for, and I didn't have to do much prep work before heading off to church. I DID remember to use one of my crock pot liners, which was a huge help afterwards.

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts

1 packet dry Italian dressing

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1-2 cans cream of chicken soup (depending how cream cheesy you want it)

Instructions

Place the chicken in a crockpot and sprinkle Italian dressing over it. Combine cream cheese and cream of chicken soup in a small pot over low heat and pour over chicken. Cook on low for at least 4 hours.

If you feel the sauce is too thick you can thin it to your preferred consistency with a little milk. Serve over pasta or rice.

I would say that this recipe was quite delicious! I used frozen chicken, and it was done in a little less than 4 hours on low. I let it cook a little longer with the lid off to help thicken it up, since I used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup. I also used 2 packets of the Italian dressing, which was a slight mistake. I didn't season it at all, but it still came out rather salty due to the dressing. I boiled some bow-tie pasta, shredded the chicken, and poured the sauce and chicken over the pasta. It was delicious! And with only 5 ingredients in the whole dish, and SUPER easy to make, I will definitely be making this dish again :)

Happy cooking!
