Easy Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken
This Creamy Slow Cooker Italian Chicken recipe used to be really popular about 25 years ago. It’s almost like a chicken version of Beef Stroganoff. It has a rich, zesty herb chicken sauce that tastes great served over rice or pasta.
If you’re like me and forgot about this recipe until now, you will remember it’s super easy to make and crowd pleasing every time. My 7-year-old, Cooper, loved it. He’s never had it before, and that’s when I realized it has been a long time since I made it.
It’s one of those recipes that save you when you don’t have a lot of time to prepare dinner. With ingredients easily kept on hand, it’s the perfect comfort food for a busy weeknight. Toss all the ingredients in the slow cooker and forget about it until ready to serve.

No. You only add the condensed cream of chicken soup.
