OMG Best Crockpot Chicken Ever!



What you need,

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 2 inch pieces
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
1 packet. dry Italian dressing mix
1 8oz block cream cheese, cut into cubes

In a slow cooker combine the soup, the ranch and Italian dressing packets and the cubed cream cheese. Stir to combine. Add the chicken and stir to coat.

Cook on low for 4-6 hours. I stirred the mixture twice during cooking, about 3 hours in and about 1 hour before it was done. This helped smooth out the cream cheese.

Serve over noodles or rice with a nice salad.

Like I said this chicken was really good. I was a bit concerned that it called for the whole packet of both the ranch and Italian dressing. I felt like it might be too strong. I was right; it was a little overpowering, and a bit salty.  Next time I am going to use a tablespoon of each seasoning mix instead of the whole package, I think this will be plenty of spice.
Also the mixture ended up being very thick, which was fine but it was a bit rich. I think adding about ½ cup or so of chicken broth or even lower fat milk at the beginning of the cooking would help thin the mixture out a bit.
