Here’s a creamy, comforting Crock Pot Chicken with Cream Cheese recipe — perfect for a hands-off dinner that’s rich, savory, and flavorful.
🍗 Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken (Serves 4–6)
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or mushroom soup)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss) – optional topping
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1️⃣ Add chicken to crock pot
- Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
2️⃣ Mix sauce
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir until smooth.
3️⃣ Cook
- Pour sauce over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until chicken is tender.
4️⃣ Optional: Add cheese
- In the last 15–20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and cover until melted.
5️⃣ Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a creamy, hearty meal.
🔥 Tips
- For extra flavor, sear chicken briefly in a skillet before adding to the crock pot.
- You can add vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for a one-pot meal.
- For a lighter version, use light cream cheese and low-sodium soup.
I can also give a crock pot version with ranch seasoning and bacon for a tangy, richer twist if you want.
Do you want me to share that version too?
