Cream Cheese Chicken

Isn't everything better with butter and cream cheese?  I think so.  This creamy, gravy-like meal is made with both.  Oh and I guess I should mention, it contains chicken too.

Cream Cheese Chicken

1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 12 tenders

1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese

1 can cream of chicken soup

To a slow cooker, add melted butter and one envelope of Italian dressing mix.  Stir mix into butter.  If using chicken breasts, cut them into 1-inch strips and place them in the slow cooker.  If using tenders, just add them as is.  Stir the chicken in the butter mixture to coat.  Cover and cook on high 2 hours.  With a slotted spoon, remove chicken to a plate.  To what is left in the slow cooker, add cream cheese and soup.  Stir to melt and mix well until smooth and creamy.  Stir chicken into sauce.  Keep warm until ready to serve.

Serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
