Italian Slow Cooker Chicken

Clean and dry chicken breasts thoroughly with cold water, removing excess moisture by gently patting them with paper towels. Position the chicken breasts in a slow cooker, ensuring they are fully submerged in melted butter that has been poured over them. This allows the butter to seep into every crevice of the chicken, infusing it with rich flavor. Close the lid and set the cooker to High heat, allowing the chicken to cook for an extended period of time, typically 4-5 hours, until it reaches tender perfection.

Using a sturdy metal utensil, carefully break down the cooked chicken into smaller, manageable pieces within the slow cooker.

In a separate saucepan over medium heat, combine softened cream cheese, canned cream of chicken soup, Italian salad dressing mix, and a small amount of sherry. Stir constantly as the mixture comes to a boil, ensuring the cream cheese has fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and well combined.

Pour this savory sauce over the cooked chicken in the slow cooker, covering it once again to allow the flavors to meld and blend. Continue cooking on High heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and is bubbling with excitement.
