My hairdresser shared this recipe with me. I love it served over egg noodles, but my mom prefers it over rice. Either way, it's super yummy! I often use chicken tenders in this recipe, but my hairdresser uses skinless, boneless thighs.

Time 7h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts (boneless)
2 Tbsp butter (melted)
pepper to taste
1 pkg italian seasoning mix (dry, 1 packet)
1 c heavy cream
1 Tbsp chicken bouillon granules
1 pkg cream cheese (8 ounces)
1/2 c chicken broth
1 large onion
1-2 clove garlic (crushed)

Steps:

1. Brush chicken with 1 Tablespoon butter and place in crockpot. Sprinkle with dry Italian seasoning mix.
2. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
3. About 45 minutes before done, remove chicken and reserve about 1/2 cup juices in the bottom before return chicken to crockpot.
4. Brown the onion in remaining butter in a saucepan and then add the cream cheese, cream and chicken broth.Add crushed garlic and stir all ingredients until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. Pour sauce mixture over chicken in crockpot and cook an additional 30-45 minutes. (Alternatively, you can thicken sauce in the saucepan by adding 1 Tbsp water with 1 Tbsp cornstarch and stir until thickened, then pour over chicken.)
6. Remove chicken to platter and pour sauce on top. Serve by itself or over pasta.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the crock pot. If you're using a small crock pot, cook the chicken in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
Use a good quality cream cheese. The cream cheese is one of the main ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking the chicken will make it dry and tough.
Serve the chicken immediately. Cream cheese chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep the chicken warm, place it in a slow cooker on the "warm" setting.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great option for potlucks and parties. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
