Introduction
Recipe Adapted from a recipe found on here.I use Cream of Mushroom soup instead of Cream of chicken. It makes the sauce more gravy-like. Also, I don't like the rice calculated into the calorie count. Sometimes I might use noodles, rice, or neither. Sometimes I just eat this with vegetables. Also, I essentially use half the cream cheese in the recipe. It cuts down on the fat and I think it's a strong enough flavor that even with half as much I can enjoy it.
You can half this recipe. Recipe Adapted from a recipe found on here.

Ingredients
-
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg Good Seasons Italian dressing mix
1/4 cup water
1 8oz pkg low fat cream cheese
2 cans 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup
Directions
- Place chicken in crock pot
- Mix together Italian dressing mix and water. Pour over chicken.
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours OR low for 8 hours.
- Mix together cream cheese and soup in separate bowl.
- Carefully remove chicken from crock pot to plate.
- Pour cream cheese/soup mixture into crock pot and mix together with dressing in bottom.
- Either Cut the chicken into finger-sized pieces or shred.
- Return chicken to crock pot and mix gently into the sauce.
- Cook on LOW until heated through.
*Serve with rice or noodles. (not included in calorie content)
**You may add skim or low fat milk in very small quantities to thin the sauce a little. It does not significantly affect the nutritional value if you use up to 2 tablespoons**
Makes 12 servings and reheats well.
This recipe can be made with FAT FREE cream cheese and it saves about 3 grams of fat. However, I feel that the dish benefits from the flavor of the low fat over the fat free.
