What goes into cream cheese chicken?
- Chicken: The original recipe uses two chicken breasts.
- Italian seasoning: Use the dry seasoning packet listed in the card, rather than prepared bottled dressing.
- Cream of chicken soup: This joins the chicken near the end of cooking.
- Cream cheese: The recipe calls for 8 ounces. Cut it into chunks before adding it so it melts more readily.
- Butter and water: Combine 1/4 cup melted butter with the seasoning and 1/2 cup water before pouring it over the chicken.
- Salt and pepper: Add to taste.
When to add the cream cheese
The original method starts the chicken with the butter, Italian seasoning and water on low. Add the soup and cream cheese about 45 minutes before the chicken is done, as directed in the card. This is a two-stage recipe, so plan to return to the slow cooker for that final addition.
What to serve with it
Serve the chicken and sauce over rice, noodles or potatoes. Prepare your chosen base separately and spoon the sauce over it when serving. For a potato side, try our garlic and herb mashed potatoes if you have a second slow cooker available.
