another easy italian crockpot chicken recipe

for the crockpot divas out there, this recipe may already be a "go-to" or may even be one that you look at and go "uh, duh..." but for those of you still learning crockpot recipes (like myself), i'm going to share this.

i already blogged once before about italian crockpot chicken, but i think this recipe really gets it right. this has some minor tweaks from the old recipe, and the result was way better than before.

ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts (i used 4 frozen breasts... i love when i don't have to thaw chicken!)
half a bottle of zesty italian dressing (i used a whole bottle, but half a bottle will do)
1 can cream of chicken soup
4 ounces of cream cheese
2 bouillon cubes and 3/4 cup of water (or 1 can of chicken broth... but i didn't have that, so i improvised with the bouillon cubes)
italian seasoning
thyme
basil leaves
salt and pepper (to taste)

i didn't measure the seasonings, but i probably put about a tablespoon each. you don't need a whole lot of salt and pepper because of the other seasonings, so just a bit of each will work.

directions:
1. put everything in the crockpot. once all in, give it a good (but easy) stir. you don't want to splash a bunch of liquid around!

2. set on low for 6-8 hours.

3. shred the chicken before serving. some of the cream cheese may not melt completely. if it doesn't, put the cream cheese and juice from the crockpot on the chicken and spread it after it has been shredded.

pairs great with pasta or rice! i already can't wait to make this again! i hope you enjoy it too :)

fin.
