Crock Pot Chicken Creem Cheese

chicken pieces (I use two big breast and that’s plenty)

1 pack Italian dressing mix

1 can Cream of Chicken soup

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 (8 ounce) block cream cheese

cooked pasta, for serving

*Place chicken in slow cooker. Pour all ingredients, except cream cheese, over top. Cook on low for about 6 hours or until chicken is cooked through. Shred chicken; add cream cheese and cook for another 30 minutes or until everything is combined. Serve with pasta.

.

*For a healthier version, you can tweak this recipe and use fat free Cream of Chicken soup and fat free cream cheese; also use whole grain pasta

Buffalo Chicken Dip SLow Cooker

Buffalo Chicken Dip

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked (If I’m in a rush, I use Tyson’s White Chunk Chicken Breast, fully cooked)
1 package fat free cream cheese, cubed
1 cup of fat free Ranch dressing
1 ½ cups of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (it has to be Frank’s or it won’t taste right)
1 tbsps I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray
1 cup fat free Cheddar Cheese

Shred chicken, lay into slow cooker. Mix in the remaining ingredients and stir until chicken is fully mixed. Turn slow cooker on high for 4-6 hours, depending on your crock pot. Sprinkle in cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Serve with Frito's and/or celery.

It’s really that easy.
