Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 ½ (.7 ounce) packages dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
½ cup dry sherry

Cover the cooker, set to High, and cook until tender, 4 to 5 hours. With a metal spatula, chop up the chicken into bite-size pieces in the slow cooker.
  • Place the cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, Italian salad dressing mix, and sherry into a saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is well combined. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker; cover, and cook on High until the flavors have blended and the sauce is bubbling, about 30 more minutes.
