𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 🍗
1 packet Italian dressing seasoning mix 🌿
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup 🥣
1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened 🧀
1/2 cup chicken broth 🍲
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
1/2 teaspoon onion powder 🧅
Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿 (optional)
Cooked pasta or rice for serving 🍝🍚

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts 🍗 at the bottom of your slow cooker. Make sure they are arranged in an even layer for even cooking. This will be the base of your creamy Italian chicken.

2. Mix the creamy sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the Italian dressing seasoning mix 🌿, cream of chicken soup 🥣, softened cream cheese 🧀, and chicken broth 🍲. Stir until smooth and well combined. If the cream cheese isn’t fully soft, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds to make mixing easier. Add the garlic powder 🧄 and onion powder 🧅 for extra flavor. Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, covering them evenly.

3. Cook the chicken: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 6-7 hours ⏲️, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. The low and slow cooking method ensures that the chicken becomes juicy and easy to shred while soaking up all the creamy, Italian flavors.

4. Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. The chicken should be tender enough to fall apart easily. Stir the shredded chicken into the creamy sauce, making sure it’s well coated and evenly mixed. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on low to allow the flavors to meld together.

5. Serve and garnish: Serve the creamy Italian chicken over cooked pasta 🍝 or rice 🍚 for a hearty meal. Garnish with fresh parsley 🌿 and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. This adds a pop of color and enhances the creamy richness of the dish. Enjoy the tender, flavorful chicken with every bite!
