Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken

TXHomemaker's Note:

This is a meal that is great to come home to. It's really yummy! We like it served over fettuccine pasta noodles. It tastes much like fettuccine Alfredo. You could probably serve it over rice or mashed potatoes. Occasionally, I will add some steamed broccoli to get a another vegetable in.

Very easy, tasty dish!! I tried an almost identical recipe last week and I really like the fact that you, Nancy, used boneless breast of chicken. You might try skinless breasts also next time, reducing fat and cutting the cook time by an hour or so. I found sliced mushrooms (the last hour, if you like them) to be a nice addition as well as a bit of dry sherry. This is an exciting site; I've referred many friends to it. Thanks Nancy!

What a fast and scrumptious meal. I took the others advice and took the skin off and served it over a bed of noodles. I thing I learned from this recipe is when I need cooked chicken for a recipe; I'm cooking chicken in the crockpot. With no water added in the crockpot the chicken did not loose its chicken flavor. Boiling chicken tends to diminish the flavor somewhat. IMO. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

This was tasty. The kids gobbled it up. I served it over a half bag of egg noodles and my husband would have liked more noodles. It was very easy on a hectic day. I used boneless/skinless chicken and actually made the sauce 2 hours before serving due to taking my daughter to dance. Anyway, it turned out great and is a keeper!
