Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
12 oz cooked pasta or egg noodles (for serving)
Instructions
1. Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
2. In a bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, Italian dressing mix, butter, and chicken broth until mostly smooth.
3. Place chicken in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s fully covered.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
6. Stir the sauce in the crock pot to combine everything evenly.
7. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
8. Serve the chicken and sauce over the pasta and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese and soup for the creamiest texture.
Avoid using frozen chicken directly — always thaw first for even cooking.
Stir the sauce before serving to ensure it’s silky and smooth.
