Heavenly Slow Cooker Chicken

I wanted something different for chicken in the crock pot so I came across this recipe on allrecipes.com. It has a really nice flavor - creamy and herby - very comforting. I started this after lunch on Sunday for dinner because it is nice and quick.

2 tablespoons butter
1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) container chive and onion cream cheese
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves


Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the salad dressing mix, mushroom soup, cream cheese, and wine until the sauce mixture is hot, smooth and well combined. Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a slow cooker, and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on Low setting until chicken is tender, about 4 hours.

Tips: I added a package of baby portabella mushrooms because we love mushrooms in our house. The recipe makes a lot of the sauce so you could up the number of chicken breasts to 6 or even 8. I served this with white rice and broccoli, but it would also be good with some bowtie pasta or asparagus. Also, it is a bit salty so you may want to use a reduced sodium cream of mushroom soup if that is a concern.
