Crock Pot Creamy Italian Chicken

I have always loved to cook with my slow cooker. I definitely did not complain when I received 2 crock-pots as wedding gifts almost 8 years ago. Over time I have learned new ways to use my slow cooker. Often times people think that you can only make soups, stews, or roasts in you slow cooker. There are endless possibilities to that little electric operated pot. If you can cook it in your oven- you can "crock it" in your slow cooker! (You see what I did there?) This is evident with this meal- Creamy Italian chicken. This recipe involves one more step to finish; however, it is still super easy and delicious.

Ingredients:
1-2 lbs of chicken breast (i used tenderloins)
1 stick of buuter (melted)
1 pack of dry italian seasoning
1 can of cream of mushroom
1 8oz pack of cream cheese

Mmmm.... This is gonna be GOOD!!!

Directions:
Mix the italian dressing and melted butter together, pour over the chicken and throw it in the freezer. Like all the freezer recipes, label your bag and lay it flat in the freezer. The night before you will lay it out to defrost. Put it in your slow cooker on low for 6 hours (or high 3-4 hours). 30 minutes before you are ready to eat, you will need to mix the cream cheese and cream of mushroom together and pour it over your chicken.

Even better as leftovers

Along with our creamy italian chicken, we had chicken flavored rice and asparagus. My main squeeze ended up taking some of the leftovers to work the next day and said it tasted even better. This meal will definitely be in the menu rotation per his request. Hope you enjoy the meal and make sure to check out my previous post that include a menu with grocery list. Happy Crockin'!
