Ingredients: Zesty Italian Chicken Noodles

1 1/2-2 lbs chicken breasts or tenderlions

21 oz cream of chicken

8 oz cream cheese

.7 oz Italian zesty dressing seasoning this is the dressing seasoning not the dressing

pepper to taste

Instructions: Zesty Italian Chicken Noodles

Add 3-4 chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker

Then on top add 2 cans of cream of chicken

On top of that add 8 oz of cubed cream cheese

Sprinkle on top Italian Zesty Dressing seasoning – remember this is the dressing seasoning, not to be confused by actual salad dressing or Italian seasoning

Pepper to taste if desired

Cook in slow cooker on low for 4 on high or 6 hours on low – do not lift lid

Once chicken is done , you will you want to grab a large pot fill with water and bring it to a boil an pour in 16 oz of egg noodles.

While noodles are cooking shred chicken in the slow cooker

Cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until done, strain them and add the cooked noodles to the slow cooker with the shredded chicken

Optional- reserve and add 1/4 cup of pasta water to the slow cooker

Just pour it right on top of the pasta in the slow cooker with the chicken.

Once combined let it all set in slow cooker for 5-10 mins to combine well and then serve

Now it is ready to serve up with a side salad like we do

Side Idea:

You can also enjoy this meal without the noodles and serve over mash potatoes or rice. Using a slow cooker liner with this meal makes for easier clean up! Pair this meal with a side salad or steamed broccoli, fresh fruit and a crusty roll. Makes for an epic comfort food meal. Want to cut down on sodium, use reduced sodium condensed soup, make your own or use one can and substitute second can with 10 oz of water.

Crazy Busy Mama Tip:

Try this tip! Save 1/4 a cup of pasta water and add to slow cooker with noodles once they are cooked. Adding this starchy pasta water helps to combine all the flavors together.
