Italian Dressing Chicken is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. Only 4 ingredients, plus a slow cooker, makes for an easy dinner! This chicken recipe ends up so flavorful and moist. It makes a wonderful, creamy sauce too. Slow cooker meals are my favorite to do on weeknights since I can let the slow cooker do all the work!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dressing Depth 🥄
Use a high-quality, full-bodied Italian dressing with herbs to maximize flavor complexity and ensure the chicken is well-coated before slow cooking.
Cream Cheese Magic 🧀
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before adding to the slow cooker to ensure smoother, lump-free incorporation into the sauce.
Chicken Prep Pro 🔪
Trim any excess fat from chicken breasts and consider pounding them to an even thickness to ensure consistent cooking and more tender meat.
Slow Cooker Timing 🕰️
For most tender results, cook on low for 6-7 hours instead of high for 3-4 hours, which allows the chicken to become more tender and absorb more flavor.
Sauce Rescue 🥣
If the sauce is too thin, whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking to achieve a perfect, creamy consistency.
