Cream of Chicken

Today I decided to make cream of chicken in a crockpot since I have never officially used a crockpot before, which is silly because you just leave food in it and let it sit for hours. You barely have to do anything and yet it tastes so delicious! I had Rachelle email me the recipe and got it all set up in the crockpot before I left for school. It was in from 11:00 to 4:30 and then on low to keep warm after that. Here is the recipe I followed :


3-4 chicken breasts
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 packages cream cheese (the 8 oz. rectangles)
2 cups chicken broth (I used one can, it was like 14 oz. almost 2 cups and it worked fine)
2 packets Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix
Pepper (just a bit)

Blend all ingredients except for the chicken.  Place chicken in bottom of crockpot and pour delicious mixture over.  Cook on high for 6-7 hours.  (Mine was done a bit before, just really when the chicken is done is when it's done)  I waited until the chicken was pull-aparty and kind of shredded it with a fork so there weren't huge chunks.  Serve over your choice of pasta or rice.

I decided to do pasta this time since in the past I've always eaten it with rice and I wanted to try something new. I've concluded that they both taste great and I will now just make it depending on if I'm in a pasta or rice mood.

Prep time: 10 min.
Cooking Time in crockpot: 5 hrs. if chicken is previously defrosted
