    omg.. loved this! my boyfriend who isn't "dieting" or anything loves it too.. he gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars. Next time I think I will add another 1/2 packet of the italian seasoning.. it was a tiny bit blah but still really good... I just think more flavor would make it that much better - 1/16/10

    This is so super easy and delicious! I line my crockpot with a crockpot plastic liner. There is no clean up. This recipe is very simple, but tasty. I used the Good Season's Zesty Italian packet to season the chicken. I cooked on high for about 5 hours. The chicken was extremely tender. - 12/8/09

    This recipe was easy but, next time I will cook over low heat for longer time. I think it needs longer to cook for all the flavors to come together. I added some extra minced garlic and mushrooms (like the others suggested) and that helped amp it up a little. - 2/24/10

    I have made this before, using Mushroom soup and adding a can of mushrooms. We like it a lot better that way. I have not used low fat or fat free cream cheese, but am going to try it. Also, we have used white wine, in place of the water. It is incredible! Probably not dietetic, though. ; - 7/23/10

    I fixed this recipe & I'm not an adventurous person when it comes to making new recipes. The cream cheese part scared me, but it really does mix well in the recipe! I added chicken broth to thin it out a little bit and next time I'll add some garlic. WE LOVED IT! (served it over no-yolk noodles!) - 3/15/10

    This is super-easy to make. There are no fat-free versions of the ingredients available where I live, so I used low-fat ones. I served it over some whole-wheat egg noodles for fibre. The serving size is generous and filling, and I really enjoyed it! I would definitely make it again. - 5/25/10

    LOVED it! I used chicken thighs because I didn't have breasts, and substituted a packet of dry ranch dressing for the italian. Also added a can of mushrooms. Chicken was very moist and the whole was delicious over brown rice. Will definitely make this again! - 3/24/10

    I actually did not like this meal at all. I don't care for cream of chicken soup, and the flavor seemed very overpowering to me. I think that it would be tastier with something to substitute the soup.
    I served it over whole wheat penne pasta.

    I have made this recipe several times. My husband and 2 yr. old son both LOVE it. I use the Smart Balance Cream Cheese though, just a little extry help there with the healthiness, and I don't bother with the dressing mix, I just buy the dressing in the bottle. - 4/28/08

    It was delicious! Both DH & I really enjoyed it over whole wheat pasta. I was a little concerned with the calories because it seemed too low. I full chicken breast would be about 250 cals not including sauce. It just didn't seem accurate to me even considering the 8 servings. - 2/22/08

    Okay, I added these things based on other comments: can of drained mushrooms, can of diced tomatoes (juice and all), extra water, garlic, and my own addition of a can of white beans, drained and rinsed. I only had two chicken breasts to use so I shredded the meat & served it over rice. Very yummie! - 11/11/10

    This was awesome! Money is tight and this recipe came out to about $1.50 per person! The gravy was out of this world and I would have given it 5 stars but the chicken was a little on the dry side. Recommend braising chicken first and plan on making gravy with to pour over Shake N Bake chicken! - 12/13/09

    This recipe was good for my taste, but my kids did not care for the soup and stuff on top. My husband did not really care for it because he said the chicken was very dry and my crockpot did burn around the edges. I may have overcooked it a little since everyone had to work a little late that day. - 1/13/08

    I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese. It was DELICIOUS! It made more sauce than necessary, even with adding brown rice to the meal (covered with sauce). I think I'll use more meat next time, or maybe record the other ingredients separately to get more accurate accounting of calories / sodium. - 12/15/13
