Time 4h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 ½ (.7 ounce) packages dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
½ cup dry sherry

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken, and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken breasts into a slow cooker, and drizzle melted butter all over the chicken breasts, lifting them up to allow butter to flow underneath the chicken. Cover the cooker, set to High, and cook until tender, 4 to 5 hours. With a metal spatula, chop up the chicken into bite-size pieces in the slow cooker.
  • Place the cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, Italian salad dressing mix, and sherry into a saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is well combined. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker; cover, and cook on High until the flavors have blended and the sauce is bubbling, about 30 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Cut up the chicken, chop the vegetables, and measure out the spices before you start cooking. This will save you time and hassle when you're ready to assemble the dish.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Italian cooking, so make sure you use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the chicken won't cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the pieces of chicken so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours: This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Add the cream and Parmesan cheese at the end of cooking: This will prevent the cream from curdling and the Parmesan cheese from becoming rubbery.
  • Serve the chicken over pasta or rice: This is a classic Italian dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
