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.
Slow Cooker or Instant Pot
If you have a Slow Cooker or Instant Pot you can use either one. For Slow Cooker cook on low for 6 hours, take the chicken out and shred. Put the chicken back into the slow cooker and mix that around until the gravy is all covered in it. For the Instant Pot, set the pressure cook time to 20 minutes.
How to make Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken
- 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.
- Cover and cook on Low heat for 6 hours. (OR on High for 3 hours) Remove lid and stir mixture together. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. (If the sauce seems too thick, you can thin it out with a little milk or water)
- Serve chicken and sauce over cooked egg noodles or rice. Enjoy
- ¾ cup serving size for italian chicken (not noodles)
Weight Watcher Points
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.

No, I cook that seperate.
Amy says
Does anyone add rice to the slow cooker? Timing on that?
Jenna says
Thanks Renee, it's so great on a cool Fall evening.
Renee says
This is so good! I used the garlic and herb seasoning instead of the Italian! My daughter who is very picky and she loved it! This will be on my weekly rotation!

I never use the nutrition info to figure out points for my recipes and I even stated what I used in the notes section of the recipe. The nutrition calculator doesn't calculate zero point foods correctly like chicken. The chicken is added into the nutrition info so of course, it's going to be wrong. Don't really understand why people need to argue about this?
Katy says
Agreed that the nutrition information posted gives 8 points on the Blue plan per current app calculator if you're trying to enter as a single serving. I went into the app and built the recipe myself out of the ingredients and it tells me I get 3 pts per serving, for 8 servings. Simple math of dividing the 20 oz of soup by 8 servings gives you about 1/3 of a cup sauce per serving. I made it a little easier on myself switched serving to 6 and it is 5 pts. If this helps anyone.

Unfortunately, I can not see what you entered into the recipe builder and that does sound off. Double-check you entered everything correctly and the number of servings the recipe makes.
Brittany Pataky says
When I put this in my WW app it came up as 8 and I’m on purple. What did I do wrong?

It's kind of like how you make gravy. Add in some cornstarch and wait till warms up and starts to get thick.
