Creamy Chicken Italiano

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Pkg Dry Italian Salad Dressing Mix
1/4 C Water
8oz Pkg Cream Cheese (softened)
10 3/4oz Can Cream of Chicken Soup

1. Place chicken in slow cooker.
2. Combine salad dressing mix and water.  Pour over chicken.
3. Cover.  Cook on Low 3 hours.
4. Combine cheese and soup until blended.  Pour over chicken.
5. Cover.  Cook on Low 1 hour, or until chicken juices run clear.

**NOTE: I skipped step 4-5 and just added the dressing mix, water, cream cheese, and soup all together.  This recipe is a lot like THIS one (Ranch Crock Pot Chicken) only with Italian instead of Ranch.

Baked Chicken & Rice

Baked Chicken & Rice **

10 3/4oz Can Cream of Chicken Soup
10 3/4oz Can Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 Pkg Dry Onion Soup Mix

4. Sprinkle with dry onion soup mix.
5. Cover.  Cook on Low 4-6 hours, or until chicken is done but not dry, and rice is tender but not mushy.

**OH MY!!!  HEAVENLY!!!**  One VERY WISE TIP!  Make sure you use a slow cooker LINER on this recipe or you'll be scrubbing your pot for weeks!  I also imagine it would still be good with only 1 or 2 of the types of soup if you don't have all three, but the dry onion soup mix on the top is NECESSARY!

All ready to start cooking.

See that yummy carmelization on top.  YUM!  I just cooked 3 chicken breasts but I think this recipe is better served for more, maybe double.

Oops...I dung in before I took a picture of it plated.  The rice was really yummy too!
