Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken
This sounds really good, on my to cook list. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 packet dry Italian salad dressing mix, OR make from a shortcut
- 1/3 cup water
- 250 grams Cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, OR make from a shortcut
- handful fresh mushrooms, sliced
- cooked rice or pasta, for serving
Instructions
- Add the chicken breast to your slow cooker. Combine the salad dressing mix with the water and pour it over the chicken. Cover and cook on Low setting for 3 hours.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and soup until well blended. Stir in mushrooms. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken. Cook on Low setting for another 1 to 3 hours longer or until chicken is cooked through. Serve over hot rice or pasta.
Notes
Chicken breasts run about 100 Baht/kilo, use 4 and freeze the rest. The block of Cream cheese will run about 120 Baht. For 4 servings this comes out to about $1.60 per serving. Use the shortcuts for savings on the other items as well.
Variants could include: using chicken stock in place of the water, in a pinch canned button mushrooms could be used, and adding chopped spring onions along with the mushrooms.
