Crock Pot Cream Cheese Italian Chicken

Submitted by ChipotleChick

"This is a great recipe that I have been making for years. It is very rich though, so don't make this recipe if you are looking for something light! I like to serve this with steamed rice (to kind of counterbalance the fat content of the chicken). Also, the cooking time listed here is for an older model Crock Pot. If you have a newer one you will want to cut back the cooking time."

Great sauce...and easy. I added sauteed mushrooms. Will make again.

Ok. I have to be honest. This is like a 5 gazillion star recipe! Thanks Sahara so much for sharing this. I was cooking for a lot of people and so I tripled the recipe, used boneless skinless chicken breasts from Costco and added fresh mushrooms at the end. Very easy and so elegant! I have never cooked with wine before and I thought it might be really stong, but WOW! I actually have left over sauce, and am making a trip to the store for more chicken. IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS RECIPE!

AMAZING! I cooked this for my boyfriend and he asks for it every week now. It was beyond easy but tastes like it was difficult. We like it best served over grits....but we are from the South. lol

Yum yum to the tum tum! Rich and delicious. I served it with buttered noodles and it was one heck of a good meal!

This was so wonderful! I made it for my husband and his friend and they both loved it. I used 5 chicken breasts and that seemed to be the perfect number with the amount of sauce. I stopped the chicken from cooking after 3 hours because it was cooked through and I didn't want to dry it out. I waited until about 2 hours before we were ready to eat and added the cheese sauce. It cooked for the whole 2 hours and was perfect, so tender. I added fresh mushrooms and used the whole 8 oz of cream cheese. Other than that I followed the recipe completely. Thank you for a keeper!!
