Directions
Prepare the chicken:
Place the chicken in a 4–6 quart slow cooker, arranging it in a single layer for even cooking.
Make the sauce:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth (or water), and dry Italian dressing mix until smooth.
Layer the ingredients:
Scatter the cream cheese cubes over the chicken, then pour the sauce evenly on top, making sure everything is well coated.
Slow cook:
Cover and cook on Low for 4–6 hours or High for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Shred and mix:
Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir well until the cream cheese melts completely into the sauce, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
