Creamy Crockpot Italian Chicken

I love my slow cooker. I use it all the time. This is one of my favorite slow cooker recipes. I'm not sure where my mom found it, but she was nice enough to share this awesome recipe with me.

INGREDIENTS:
4 boneless breasts
1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
1/3 c water
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup
1 can (4 oz) mushrooms
Hot noodles or rice

DIRECTIONS:
1) Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot.

2) Combine salad dressing and water; pour over chicken.

3) Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.

4) In a small mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese and soup until well blended.

5) Stir in mushrooms.

6) Pour cream cheese mixture over chicken.

7) Cook for 3 more hours.

8) Serve over noodles or rice. (I like Rainbow Rotini)

Note:
I have used a homemade Zesty Italian mix and I have to say . . . it didn't quite work out like I had hoped. I'm going to give it another go soon though because those packets can get expensive and I use them in a lot of recipes. HOWEVER, I do make my own Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soup mixes and I LOVE them much more than the canned soup. Bleh. Something about those feels so wrong to me . . . . especially the chicken one lol Anyway, for those recipes head on over to this link :)
