Slow Cooker Italian Chicken

Happy Thanksgiving! As the holidays usually are I have been extremely busy traveling and visiting friends and family. Brian and I got to spend Thanksgiving in Mississippi showing off our super fun, silly, sweet, smart, sassy and a little sneaky now 15 month old to her Grandparents, Aunts, Uncle, Cousins and mommy and daddy's oldest friends and their little ones. We had a blast and she did too.

In honor of Thanksgiving I am posting a recipe that has nothing to do with the holiday. It is, however, fast, easy and delicious, which is exactly the kind of meals we need this time of year.

I have been and will continue to post a bunch of things I have tried that I got from Pinterest. But that's the point of Pinterest, isn't it? To get inspiration and ideas, try them out, then share with the web your results. (So then maybe someone can repin it, right??) This recipe is all over that site and all the comments talk about how easy it is. Well, as if a slow cooker meal isn't easy enough, this one is by far one of the easiest I have tried. The recipe is so simple. Through Pinterest I read two different blog posts about it. The recipes are basically the same and I will post it also, but I'd like to give credit to the actual recipes I used which can be found here and here. The only difference as you can see is that I used vegetable spiral pasta because it is what I had on hand.

Slow Cooker Italian Chicken

1 pound (or so) chicken breasts or tenders
1-2 cans Cream of Chicken soup (I used 2, I'm sure Cream of Mushroom would work too)
1 8 ounce block of cream cheese
1 package Italian Dressing Seasoning
Pasta of your choice

1. Combine the soups and cream cheese in a sauce pan.

 2. Place chicken in bottom of slow cooker and cover with the Italian Seasoning.

 3. Cover the seasoned chicken with the soup/cheese mixture.

4. Cook on high for 6 hours.
5. The chicken can be served whole, cubed or shredded at this point. I cut mine up into large chunks.
6. Serve over pasta!
