How to Make Italian Cream Cheese Chicken

  1. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a 3-quart slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 packet (1 ounce) Italian salad dressing mix and 1/2 cup water.
  3. Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
  5. While the chicken cooks, prepare the creamy cheese sauce: In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 10.75 ounces can condensed cream of mushroom soup, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in 8 ounces sliced mushrooms into the cream cheese mixture.
  7. After 3 hours of cooking, pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  8. Cover and cook for another 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  9. Serve the creamy Italian chicken over your favorite pasta (like fettuccine or spaghetti) or rice. Garnish with fresh oregano if desired.
