    Creamy Italian Chicken was fun make again. I almost forgot about how great this recipe was and it will be on the recipe rotation from now on.

    The cream of chicken soup and cream cheese makes the most delicious gravy. It is good on top of egg noodles, rice, mashed potatoes, and if you're low carb use cauliflower mashed potatoes.

    Ingredients Needed

    Ingredients needed for Creamy Italian Chicken.
    • Skinless boneless chicken breasts - They’re lean and quick-cooking and always come out juicy and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is not over cooked.  When reading labels for chicken breasts try to find ones that say Organic or Free Range. 
    • Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix - Italian seasoning mix is a blend of herbs and spices commonly used in Italian cuisine. The mix typically includes basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder, although the exact ingredients may vary depending on the brand or recipe
    • Campbells Condensed 98% Fat-Free Cream of Chicken Soup (2 10oz cans) 
    • Low fat cream cheese is a version of cream cheese that has a lower fat content than traditional cream cheese. It is a popular choice for those who are trying to reduce their overall fat or calorie intake.
    • Egg Noodles or Rice, to serve with
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    How to make Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken

    Step 1: Spray crock pot with non-stick spray. Place the chicken breasts in crock pot, and sprinkle the Italian dressing mix over the top. Pour the cream of chicken soups over chicken, and then spread the cubes of cream cheese evenly over all.

    Weight Watcher Points

    ¾  cup serving size for italian chicken (not noodles) 

    This creamy Italian Chicken recipe is a good example of why you shouldn't use the nutrition info calculator that WW provides to figure out points for recipes you see online. The chicken is calculated into the nutrition info so of course, it's going to be wrong. Chicken is a zero point food. The nutrition info gives you 8 points per serving and the recipe builder gives 3 on the blue and purple plan.

    What Crock Pots are the Best? 

    When choosing a slow cooker think of the size of your family first. Do you have a large family of 6 or more? You probably want a larger crockpot that is 7 qt or more. For smaller families that are 4 or less choose a 4 qt slow cooker and just adjust the recipe ingredients in half. No need to change the cooking times.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can you cook chicken in a crock pot?

    Yes, you can cook chicken in a crock pot. Crock pots are a great way to cook chicken because they allow for slow, even cooking that results in tender, juicy meat.

    Do I need to wash my chicken before adding it to a crock pot?

    No, it is not recommended to wash chicken before adding it to a crock pot. Washing chicken can actually spread harmful bacteria around your kitchen and increase the risk of foodborne illness.
