Crock Pot Chicken Casserole

From Church Cookbook

2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 pkg.  dry Italian seasoning
6 oz.  cream cheese
3 to 4  chicken breasts or I use 4 cans of chunk chicken and put in at last 10 minutes so the meat doesn't crumble too much.  If using for smaller portion like for lunch menue, for dinner chicken breast would be better.

Put soup, cream cheese, and dressing packet in crock pot on low for 1 hour.  Stir, then add whole chicken breast.  Cook 6 to 8 hours.  Chicken will shred with fork, then serve over rice or noodle.  We use egg noodles.  Easy and Yummy!
