super creamy zesty italian crock pot chicken

this is a new favorite that i recently tried. it will definitely become a regular because you seriously can't beat how easy this recipe is. my husband loved it too :) i got this recipe from kraftrecipes.com and tweaked it slightly.

ingredients:
4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 tbsp. margarine
2 packets zesty italian seasoning
4 cups cooked rice
optional 2 cups sauteed or steamed vegetables (i sauteed some kroger brand key largo blend frozen vegetables)

directions:
put frozen chicken breasts, soup, and margarine into crock-pot.

cook on low 3-4 hours. after about an hour open crock-pot, add cream cheese and zesty italian seasoning, then stir everything together.

when complete, shred or cut chicken into chunks. serve over steamed rice with vegetables of your choice.

my comments:
after you cut or shred chicken you may want to let it sit in the sauce for 10 minutes or so to let it soak in.

others have substituted the rice for pasta noodles. bowtie and angel hair pasta is supposedly very good but i haven't tried it yet.

crock-pots vary so therefore your cooking time may vary also. cook until chicken is cooked all the way through and tender.

just as good as left overs!
