    I updated the photos for this recipe and added a video. 9/12/16

    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

    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.
    2. 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)
    3. Serve chicken and sauce over cooked egg noodles or rice. Enjoy
    4. 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.

    Elite Gourmet - Electric oval slow cooker has adjustable temps and can make anything from entrees, sauces, stews & dips. Plus it’s dishwasher safe. This one also comes in a 4 quart size!

    Crock-Pot 7-Quart Oval -  Manual Slow Cooker | Stainless Steel (SCV700-S-BR) Spatious 7 quart manual slow cooker that servers up to 9 people. Fits a 7 pound roast. Keeps food at an ideal serving temperature for as long as you need to so you can make dishes ahead of time!

      The proper method for cooking frozen chicken in the slow cooker is to cook it in some water covered. You can do it that way but make sure to drain the water out after adding the rest of the ingredients.

      Sorry about that but I corrected the recipe. 2 cans of chicken soup and 4 oz of cream cheese. That is half a block of cream cheese.

      How much cream cheese should be added???

      Recipe is not clear-amounts not listed. Video shows 2 cans cream of chicken soup added and cream cheese is not listed in the ingredients. These are not listed correctly up front in the ingredients and now I have to go back to the market!

      Is this one packet of seasoning?? There’s a 2 after “mix” so I got confused....
