This recipe is SO yummy and easy to make. I love recipes when you can set it and forget it ;)

Please note that I did not end up using the Campbell’s cream of chicken soup because I read it contained wheat flour so I ended up using a gluten free cream of chicken soup – if you did not know I have a wheat allergy.

What you need:

2-4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
 (8 oz.) cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup

1 lime ( Juice and zest)

1 pkg. italian dressing seasoning
Rice
 pinch of Pepper
What To Do
Get out your crock pot and put in – Soup, Italian Dressing, pepper, zest and lime juice, cream cheese
Put the crock pot on low – after 15 minutes mix together till smooth.
Place chicken in crock pot
After 2 hours take out chicken and cut into strips and place chicken back into crock pot.
Cook for 4 -6 hours till chicken is fall apart tender ;)
About 20 minutes till dinner time – cook up some rice – I use my trusty rice cooker.
Put rice in a bowl and put chicken yumminess on top and enjoy!

That looks AH-MAZING. I love the cream cheese addition. Seeing this goodness made me slightly less mad about the Brita fiasco

I guess you missed the post a few weeks ago – my husband left the cutting board on the stove and accidentally turned on the wrong burner .

Do you add the can of milk/water that’s directed on the cream of chicken? Or just the condensed part?

Just the soup

Okay, I went 2 stores to find the Italian Seasoning packet because my Wal-mart and Stater Bros., didn’t carry it. Finally got all the ingredients and was so excited for this recipe. Well, I don’t know what Einstein invented those plastic things that go under fresh chicken, but after frozen…it’s like peeling a pamper off a kid in a pool. It shreds and leaves “scrapenal” everywhere in the sink of warm water.
I waited the 15 mins, then 30, 40 and stirred the first ingredients as best as I could. I philly cream cheese was still being stubborned! So, I put the chicken in anyway. A couple hours later, the good stuff is like superglue to the sides of the crockpot and the cream chesse is still in chunks. It’s now been 5-1/2 hours, and 5 since I kicked it up to HIGH.
It tasted delicious(the sauce), but the chunky consistancy won’t break down. Did I do something wrong?
TY,
June

I haven’t made this recipe, so I don’t have any tips for that…but Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners will be a life saver when making recipes like this! No more scrubbing after making sticky dinners!

Other than horrendous misspelling, that is.

June- did your chicken cook? The cream cheese should have melted fast- sounds like a heating element or really hard/frozen cream cheese?? Maybe try adding a little water to your sauce
