Crockpot Italian Chicken

Tonight's menu at my house: Crockpot Italian Chicken, rice & Broccoli.  I make the Crockpot Italian Chicken fairly frequently, mainly because it's really easy to make AND it's delish! What more could you ask for?  

Crockpot/Slow Cooker recipes are nice on days when I'm out running errands or going to various doctor's appointments... Combine ingredients, turn it on and then go about my day.  Love it!

Crockpot Italian Chicken:

(Printable Recipe)

Ingredients:

3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (chicken breast okay, too)

1 pkg dry Italian dressing mix

1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of mushroom soup OR cream of chicken & mushroom

4 oz can mushrooms (I just use the cheap pieces & stems variety) drained

8 oz sour cream (reduced fat works well, greek yogurt would work well too!)

Directions:

1. Place chicken in crockpot.

2. Mix together Italian dressing mix, soup, and mushrooms. Stir into chicken.

3. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

4. Carefully stir in sour cream (you COULD take the chicken out, but it turns out fine doing it this way... the chicken just shreds up a bit... yummier in my opinion!)

5. Cover and heat until warmed through.

6. Serve with rice or noodles (egg noodles go quite well) 

The sauce that this dish makes is VERY tasty- it goes well with rice or egg noodles, but it's also extremely yummy with broccoli! It would actually go well with lots of things! Broccoli and egg noodles and/or rice are my family's preference though!
