Italian Cream Cheese Chicken

This is excellent!  It's very filling, so no side dish is even needed.  A salad and some dinner rolls would go nicely.
Ingredients:
  • 4 bonless/skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 TBSP melted butter
  • about 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet Good Seasons
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • pasta of your choice *(I prefer rigatoni for this, or any pasta that has little ridges in it, those little ridges seem to grab the yummyness instead of it sliding off)
Spray Crock Pot with cooking spray.  Pour broth in bottom.  Add chicken.  Drizzle on melted butter, then sprinkle the Good Seasons over it.  I usually use about half to 3/4 of the packet.  Cook on Low about 6 hours, depending on your slow cooker and amount of chicken. In my Rival brand, 4 breasts are done in about 4 hours.
*45 minutes before done:  mix soup with cream cheese in sauce pan, cook over medium heat on the stove until melted and mixed well.  You can also microwave it. 
Now you can either just pour this mixture over the chicken the way it is and continue cooking on Low for about another 45 minutes or so .... Or what I do is remove the chicken and shred it, the add that back to the Crock Pot and add the cream cheese/soup mixture and mix it all up.  Then I serve this over the cooked pasta.  It's awesome!  Again though, it's very filling.  Just warning you :)
