Units
Scale
- 2 lbs. chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
- .6 oz. packet dry Italian dressing mix
- 12 oz. jarred chicken gravy
- 4 oz. cream cheese, cut into cubes.
- 12 oz. wide egg noodles
Instructions
- Place chicken thighs in the bottom of a slow cooker and sprinkle with Italian dressing mix. Top with gravy and cubes of cream cheese.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.
- Right before serving, prepare egg noodles according to package instructions.
- Lightly shred chicken and stir in melted cream cheese.
- Serve creamy chicken over egg noodles and top with freshly cracked pepper if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers from this crock pot chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat creamy chicken in a hot skillet or in the microwave until heated through.
- Ingredient notes: I recommend using boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the best flavor. You could also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but I prefer thighs as they have more flavor.If you prefer, you could also stir in a little sour cream or heavy cream at the end of cooking instead of using cream cheese. If using packets of chicken gravy, prepare as directed and use about 1 1/2 cups of prepared gravy.
- Helpful tools: A 6-quart slow cooker works best for this recipe size, and a whisk helps incorporate the flour slurry smoothly.
- Serve with: Mashed potatoes, egg noodles, rice, or cauliflower rice.
