Instructions

Prepare the Slow Cooker:
Spray a large slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom and season with Mrs. Dash’s seasoning blend and black pepper.
Add the Sauce:
Pour the cream of chicken soups and Italian dressing mix evenly over the chicken. Top with cubed cream cheese.
Cook:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
Shred the Chicken:
Once cooked, carefully shred the chicken using two forks. Stir the sauce to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk to thin it out.

Serve the creamy chicken mixture over cooked noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For a Lighter Version: Substitute the cream cheese with a reduced-fat version.
