Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
- 1 package dry italian dressing mix
- 6 wedges laughing cow cheese or 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 medium zucchini chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
Cream of Chicken Soup
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup chicken broth, low-sodium
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts into the crockpot. Sprinkle with Italian dressing mix and stir. Make the cream of chicken soup.
- Layer chicken soup on top of chicken. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours. (Your crockpot may cook faster or slower - this is an estimate)
- When the chicken is tender, shred with two forks and give everything a stir to combine.
- Chop zucchini and bell peppers; slice the mushrooms.
- Add laughing cow cheese and vegetables to the crockpot and stir well. Cook for another 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and veggies are softened and heated through.
- Turn off heat and let stand for a few minutes to allow sauce to thicken a bit.
- Serve over rice or pasta. Enjoy!
For the Cream of Chicken Soup:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, making a roux.
- Slowly add in chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously. Whisk until combined. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until thickened. Mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. Salt and pepper to taste.
