Just five ingredients for this Italian Crockpot Chicken and you’ve got yourself a dinner recipe that the whole family will love!
My soccer coach from high school had Zachary and I over for dinner recently and she whipped up this Italian Crockpot Chicken for us. We ranted and raved about how good it was and that we needed the recipe for it ASAP. She humbly told us it was no big deal and that it was the easiest dinner ever. While she was right – it is very easy – it’s amazing to me how much flavor is packed into it!
I’m pretty sure we ate this every day for a week at one point when we were first married. We had it for dinner this last week and I fell in love with it all over again. I love it!

Jess Padron says
I am confused, first it says 1/2 cup of water and then 2/3 cup of water? How much is it?
John McMaster says
i use 2/3 cup dry white wine to cook the chicken then 1/2 cup water to help mix the cream cheese with chive and the soup cream of chicken with mushroom .and I serve with capers
Jess Padron says
I am confused with the amount of water. First it says 1/2 cup and then 2/3… how much is it?
QueenMommy says
You use 1/2 C. when you put the chicken in, then the other 2/3 C. when you put the cream cheese and cream of chicken in. 🙂
Melissa @ My Recent Favorite Books says
This looks great! =)
I love chicken recipes – pinning to my crockpot board.
intheiversonkitchen says
How many does this serve?
Zachary and Sarah @ HHG says
I’d say about 6. 🙂
Nicole Longoria says
I found this on a list of freezer meals. How would you prepare it as such? Would you just throw it all in a ziploc raw and then defrost and put it in the crockpot all together??

I created this with a few modifications, and it was a big hit! I love comfort food, but I love it even more when it’s nutritious 🙂 I subbed out the cream of chicken soup for a low sodium cream of mushroom soup. A half an hr before serving, I added 2 cups of spinach, 2 cups of kale, 1 cup of sundried tomatoes, 2 cups of sliced green peppers and 1 cup of sliced onions. I served it on homemade pasta, with a side salad. I look forward to making it again – thanks for sharing the recipe!

I made this recipe, with a few modifications and it was a big hit 🙂 I subbed cream of chicken soup for a low sodium cream of mushroom soup. 45 minutes before eating, I threw in 2 c. kale (rough chop), 1 c. spinach, 2 green peppers (sliced), one yellow onion (frenched) and 1 c. dehydrated tomatoes (rough chop). I also cracked fresh pepper and had Sambal available for those who prefer a bit of heat. I’ll definitely be making this again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This sounds super yummy!! I think I might put it over egg noodles instead of rice. Thanks for sharing!
Jyl22075 says
I made this tonight and it was a definite winner! Everyone liked it. I will definitely be making it again. I’ll probably put it over pasta next time and serve it with some Italian bread to dip in all that wonderful sauce.
Amy Stout says
Are we talking a small can of soup or a large one? Thanks
Beth says
Made this today but I didn’t have the Italian dressing season packet so I used a envelope of Ranch dressing season packet. It was delish! Thanks for the great recipe.
Trina says
Supper yummy. I cooked it in my instapot and put it on no yoke noodles with some Parmasan cheese. Was fabulous
Reviewnate says
Place the chicken in a slow cooker and sprinkle the Italian dressing over it. Combine cream cheese and cream of chicken soup in a small pot over low heat and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is done. Add milk to the sauce to get it to your preferred consistency.
ann says
It is so easy and savory. I just added a little more italian seasoning.
Ethan says
is there an instant pot conversion? dad of 3 with a wife that works late and we all loves the meals we’ve made from here so far. just didn’t do any prep last night to be able to make it for dinner tonight.
Anna says
am I supposed to drain the juice already in the crockpot and then add the cream of chicken, cream cheese,water? or, just leave it in and add the remaining ingredients to it?
