Cream Cheese Chicken

I LOVE this recipe.  It smells amazing as it cooks and it's easy to put together!

Cream Cheese Chicken

1 .7 oz. envelope of Italian dressing mix
1/2 c. butter
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 10.75 oz. can of cream of chicken soup (reduced fat is good!)
1 8 oz. package of reduced fat or fat free cream cheese

Turn slow cooker to HIGH (this does fit in a smaller crockpot).  Place butter in bottom of crockpot.  While waiting for butter to melt, cut chicken into 1" cubes.  When butter has melted, add the envelope of Italian seasoning and stir until well mixed.  Then add chicken to crockpot and stir well.  Cover and cook on high 2 hours.  At the end of the 2 hours, combine cream of chicken soup and cream cheese in bowl then add chicken.  Stir until smooth and creamy.

To Freeze: Cool completely and place in bags or containers to freeze in serving sizes appropriate for your family.

To Serve: Thaw overnight in fridge.  Reheat in saucepan.  Serve over noodles, rice or baked potatoes.
