Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breasts
1 ( 16 ounce) bottle Italian dressing
1 (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
½ cup parmesan cheese
8 ounces cream cheese Cut into cubes

Instructions

Add chicken to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
Pour the Italian dressing, cream of chicken soup, and parmesan cheese over the chicken. Then, place cream cheese cubes on top.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
Shred the chicken in the slow cooker with two forks. Then mix into the creamy Italian sauce.
Serve over rice or noodles and enjoy!

Notes

Use a good-quality Italian dressing to lend the chicken a more robust and zesty flavor.
For extra flavor, season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before adding them to the slow cooker.
Add a whole jar of marinara on the top to make this creamy Italian chicken with red sauce.
For added texture and richness, mix sautéed mushrooms and onions into the crock pot along with the other ingredients.
Stir in some sun-dried tomatoes and Italian dressing to lend the dish a tangy, tomato-forward taste.
Choose chicken breasts that are all roughly the same thickness to make sure they cook evenly.
Instead of two forks, you can use a stand mixer to shred the chicken easily in no time using the paddle attachment.

If the sauce is too thick after cooking, add a small amount of milk or chicken broth to adjust the consistency.
