Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, dry Italian dressing mix, and chicken broth until smooth.
  • Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  • Season the chicken and sauce with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and easily shreddable.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can brown the chicken slightly before adding it to the slow cooker. This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
