ingredients

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup butter
1 envelope (0.7 ounce size) dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 can (10.75 ounce size) golden mushroom soup (not cream soup)
1/2 cup dry white wine or sherry
1 tub (8 ounce size) soft cream cheese
hot cooked angel hair pasta
snipped fresh chives, optional

directions

Place the chicken in the crock pot.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the salad dressing mix and stir well. Stir in the mushroom soup, white wine, and cream cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese melts.

Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crock pot. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked.

Serve the chicken and sauce over pasta or rice. Sprinkle with fresh snipped chives before serving.

  1. Mickey REVIEW:

    A great dish! I followed the recipe, with the exception of adding 2 cups of fresh sliced mushrooms. Since I was preparing for family and guests, I doubled all ingredients. Thank Goodness there were leftovers. Not a single bite went to waste!

    too bad there is not 10 stars rating! I don't usually review a recipe but this one is so very, very good and easy!! I cut chicken in chunks and OMG! No words to describe it! I have been cooking for my hubby 57yrs. We both absoulty loved it! He said a keeper for sure! Thank You!!

  3. princess REVIEW:

    I loved this, very easy and taste's great. I would cut the chicken in chunks next time, but will be making this again, and again.

  4. temmagirl REVIEW:

    I cubed the chicken and then stirred the cooked pasta in during the last 30 minutes and let it soak in the sauce a bit.

  5. Mom Of Four REVIEW:

    A wonderfully savory chicken dish! I figured the kids would turn their noses up at it but every bite was eaten.

  6. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I used regular cream of mushroom soup, sherry, and plain cream cheese (with extra fresh chives) and it was very good. I chopped up the chicken instead of leaving it whole and only cooked it for 3 1/2 hours.

  7. GingaNinja REVIEW:

    Just made this tonight - I was a little dubious because of the crazy hodge-podge of flavors, but holy moly was it yummy! I stuck pretty close to the recipe except for the soup - I could only find regular cream of mushroom, not golden mushroom. And I used cooking sherry instead of regular dry wine, which added a bit more salt than I'd have preferred, so perhaps next time I'll use a low sodium mushroom soup to compensate. And I expect the next time won't be too far away!

  8. Penny Pasta REVIEW:

    I modified the recipe to 8 servings and found the amount of the ingredients listed was too much. The sauce turned out too thick and after 5 hours, the chicken was not ready so I cooked longer. For my taste, I believe there should be less of the cream cheese and soup and more liquid whether it's wine or sherry.

  9. Rebecca REVIEW:

    Excellent and easy!!! The chicken was so moist and tasty,even pickiest eater in the house liked it. Cooked it on low for 5 hours and came out perfect!

  10. hawkeye REVIEW:

    This is a great recipe. I didn't have cream cheese with chives so I just used some regular cream cheese. I also ran out of that and didn't want to go the store, so I just substituted a little sour cream for what I lacked in cream cheese. And to make up for the fact I didn't have chives, I threw in about 1/3 or 1/2 packet of onion soup mix. It still came out delicious. My family LOVED it. I also would like to note that I pounded the chicken breast to about 1/2" thick before I put them in the crock pot. The chicken was not dry at all, and very tender. The chicken will be nice and moist if not overcooked. This is a "TWO THUMBS UP". I will definitely make again.

  11. clemsonacemd REVIEW:

    This was delicious. I actually didn't make it as a slow cooker recipe, simply baking the chicken and making the sauce on the stovetop at the same time. The sauce was plenty thick that way. (I was concerned it would be too watery if not slow-cooked with the chicken.) It was very creamy and smooth and not too wine heavy at all. This is definitely a cream sauce, not a light meal, though.

  12. Andie REVIEW:

    Oh man....was this ever good! I made my own italian seasoning mix and added lemonade instead of the wine. It was fantastic!

  13. The San Diegan REVIEW:

    I received this recipe from a friend and we just love this dish! We have varied the Cream of Mushroom soup by using other cream based soups such as Cream of Asparagus and Cream of Celery for a different flair. This is definitely a dish that you could serve at a family gathering. Easy to make and it takes very little preparation time.

  14. musicedu REVIEW:

    My family LOVES this dish! We have 2 children, ages 9 and 2, and they both clean their plates. We first tasted this a few years ago at my sister-in-law's home during a BUCS football game. We loved it, so I found the recipe on this website and made it myself. My husband says mine taste better than hers (he's a smart man!). :) Try this recipe and you will definitely not be disappointed!
