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 (0.7–1 oz) packet dry Italian dressing mix

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Arrange the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of a 4–6 quart slow cooker. Arrange the pieces in a single layer as much as possible to help them cook evenly.

2. Prepare the Creamy Sauce

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dry Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth or water. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

3. Add the Cream Cheese and Sauce

Scatter the softened cream cheese cubes over the chicken. Pour the prepared soup mixture evenly over the top, making sure the chicken is generously covered.

4. Slow Cook Until Tender

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook until the chicken is completely cooked and tender:

• LOW: 4–6 hours
• HIGH: 2–3 hours

The chicken should be easy to pull apart with a fork when it’s ready. Check that it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

5. Shred the Chicken and Mix the Sauce

Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken directly inside the slow cooker. Stir everything thoroughly, allowing the softened cream cheese to blend into the cooking liquid and create a rich, creamy sauce.
