Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken

Don't let the name scare you away! The other night my Sister in Law invited us over for dinner, and this was what she made. It was SO GOOD! This is one of those recipe's that you probably wouldn't try if you only looked at the name or the ingredients, but it was really yummy, and I'm totally going to make it and have it again. It's not at all a "diet" meal, but it's a good meal to make in the morning, and forget about until dinner time. It also makes a LOT, so you may want to cut it in half, if you don't want leftovers for awhile.


Ingredients:

3 lbs chicken pieces
1 (2/3 ounce) package Italian salad dressing mix
4 tablespoons melted butter (divided)
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth


Directions:

Place chicken pieces in crock pot and sprinkle Italian salad dressing mix over chicken. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a sauce pan and saute onion and garlic. Add Cream of Chicken Soup, cream cheese, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
Add this mixture to crock pot and cook on low for an additional hour.


She served this over egg noodles, which was really good. You could probably put it on top of potatoes, or rice too. It's a little rich to eat just by itself.

My sister in law made this, and it was so good! I have been meaning to get the recipe from her, but I am sure this is the same one (or close to it), so now I don't have to. Thanks for posting!

I have a recipe like this too except for it just has the italian seasoning, canned mushrooms, cream cheese, and cream of chicken soup. We love it! I am loving this recipe blog. Thanks for all of the great ideas!

Trish, this is also really yummy if you use hidden valley ranch packets instead of the italian dressing packets. We love it that way, except Gabi--last time she ate it, she ended up with the stomach flu and can't eat it anymore.
