Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet dry Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Cooking Spray
  • Two Forks
  • Saucepan
  • Microwave-safe dish
  • Oven-safe dish

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking. This step is crucial for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. If you’re using chicken breasts, you might want to trim any excess fat.

  3. Sprinkle the entire packet of dry Italian salad dressing mix evenly over the chicken. This dry mix will rehydrate and dissolve into the sauce as it cooks, distributing its flavor throughout.

  4. Pour the can of condensed cream of chicken soup over the chicken and the dry dressing mix. Distribute it as evenly as possible to ensure good coverage.

  5. Gently stir the contents of the crockpot to lightly coat the chicken with the soup and dressing mix. This helps to ensure the flavors meld together from the start. You don’t need to stir vigorously; a gentle nudge is perfect.

  6. Sprinkle the 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken mixture. Reserve a little for garnish later if desired.

  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 4-6 hours, or on the HIGH setting for 2-3 hours. The exact cooking time will depend on your slow cooker and the size of your chicken pieces. The chicken is ready when it is cooked through and easily shreds or can be sliced.
  8. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker. You can either shred it using two forks or slice it into thick pieces. Return the shredded or sliced chicken to the crockpot and stir it into the luscious sauce.
