How to do it:
There really doesn’t get any easier than this recipe. My preteen can make this dinner for us when I’m busy at work and dinner is ready when it’s time!
PLACE THE CHICKEN IN A SLOW COOKER Place your chicken breast at the bottom of your slow cooker in an even layer. If you can’t fit them into an even layer, it’s okay if they are stacked a little.
WHIPPING SAUCE Combine chicken soup cream with chopped garlic and Italian seasoning. Add some salt and pepper and beat everything together. Pour this sauce over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
TOP WITH CREAM CHEESE Place the cubed cream cheese over the top of the sauce and simply cover the slow cooker and simmer for 6 hours.
SHREDDED CHICKEN Once the chicken has been cooked in the sauce, it will become pleasant and tender. Carefully remove the chicken and crumble it with two forks.
I
like to place the chicken in a large bowl to crumble, making sure I get everything. You can also leave it in the slow cooker and crush it directly in the slow cooker to avoid dirtying another dish.
Once the chicken is crumbled, simply return it to the slow cooker and mix it with the creamy sauce.
How to Serve Slow Cook Creamy Chicken
This recipe is very similar to my quick Hawaiian haystacks. In that recipe is called for precooked and shredded chicken. In this recipe, you will cook the chicken directly in the sauce and crumble it.
For both recipes, I like to serve the chicken sauce over steamed rice with some of my favorite ingredients.
You can also serve the chicken sauce over cooked egg noodles or just for a low-carb meal.

Instructions
One of the advantages of cooking with a slow cooker is that you can prepare dinner in the morning and enjoy it later in the evening. However, if you want to prepare this creamy shredded chicken even further in advance, you definitely can!
Simply cook the recipe according to the instructions below, then let cool completely. Place the shredded chicken in a zip-lock bag and place it flat for freezing.
PRO TIP: Don’t place bags of food in the freezer on top of each other. Freeze separately, then once frozen they can be stacked.
You can refrigerate the creamy chicken for up to 5 days. Reheat in the clay pot or in a large pot over medium-low heat.
Freeze creamy chicken for up to 4 months. *Defrost completely in the fridge before reheating.
