During the summer months, I love using my slow cooker. Aside from keeping the hot oven off and keeping my home cool, I love easy meal solutions during the long summer days that help to simplify our daily schedules. This Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken tastes amazing, uses little effort, and with just a few additions creates an entire meal for the whole family.<\/p>\n

I start by adding some chicken breasts to my slow cooker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next I add a packet of Italian dressing mix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then I top it off with some chicken broth before setting it to cook on high for several hours (my chicken was frozen, so it needed some extra time).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once the chicken is cooked through, I pull it out of the slow cooker, dice it up, and place it back in on the warm setting.<\/p>\n

While the chicken rests, I take some finely diced onion and saut\u00e9 it in a large skillet with some garlic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I add in some cream cheese, a little chicken broth, a can of cream of chicken soup, and a little salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I combine all the ingredients together until smooth and then add it to the slow cooker with the chicken.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I boil some pasta and once it’s cooked through, I drain it and add it to the slow cooker with the chicken and cream sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I give it all a good stir and add some fresh parsley to the mix before serving.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I serve it immediately while it’s nice and hot. It’s such a perfect comfort food that’s easy to whip up in the summer months especially since it utilizes a slow cooker. I usually serve this with broccoli since it works well to sop up any leftover cream sauce on my plate, ha!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
