Ingredients for creamy Italian chicken
This crockpot Italian dressing chicken takes only 4 simple ingredients and couldn’t be easier. Check them out below.
Cream of chicken soup: The cream of chicken soup helps to give this recipe it’s creamy consistency. I like to use a can from the store for convenience, but you can always make your own too. Check out this homemade recipe.
Cream cheese: You’ll just need 1 block of cream cheese. I like to cube mine up before adding it to the crockpot. This helps it melt evenly and not get lumpy.
Italian dressing mix: Make sure to get the dry Italian dressing mix packet! I like to use Good Seasons Italian dressing mix.
Chicken breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best for this recipe. I used 4 chicken breasts, which is about 1 1/2 pounds.

Would I double all the ingredients to make more?
That should work! :)
Easy and delicious! Thank you so much for sharing. In the slow cooker for the second time right now which reminded me to rate it. By far the easiest slow cooker chicken recipe I’ve ever tried. I love throwing in frozen peas and carrots and serving it over noodles. Tastes just like chicken pot pie.
Thanks for your comment! The addition of peas and carrots sounds delicious. I’ll have to give that a try next time!
This is flat out one of the best recipes I have tried! My 4 quart crock pot cooks faster so it was done in 4 and a half hours on slow.
Flavors were amazing. ..so delicious.
Being an 85 year old single guy who gets nervous when a recipe presents itself with a long ingredient list, I especially appreciated only 4 of ’em for this superb creation!
Thank you.
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you for leaving a comment and review Paul.
