Crockpot Italian Chicken
Sounds really good and a slow cooker dish as well, bonus! This is a simple recipe with few ingredients but you can save by making the shortcuts listed.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 250 grams Cream cheese, this is 1 standard block, softened
- 2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 packet dry Italian salad dressing mix, OR make from a shortcut
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 500 gram pasta, I would use fettuccine but any bite size pasta is ok
Instructions
- In your slow cooker, add the soup, dry dressing mix, and garlic powder, stir to combine and add the chicken breasts, cook on Low setting for 4 hours. Remove the chicken carefully to a plate and shred, then return to the slow cooker. If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk to thin to your desired consistency.
- Just before you are ready to serve, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water until just soft, drain pasta well and add to the sauce and mix in, cook for another 10 minutes to heat the pasta through, serve.
Notes
Chicken breasts cost 60 Baht/kilo, skin on but boneless, takes all of 3 seconds to remove the skin and trim any fat. Four breast may be about 700 grams, go with that, more chicken, no one is going to complain. For 4 servings, 60 Baht for the chicken, 100 Baht for the 2 cans of soup, this comes to about $1.18 per serving, if you make the soup yourself, you can reduce the soup price to about 45 Baht for both cans.
