INGREDIENTS:

• 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope dried salad dressing mix
• 2 ounces water
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup, undiluted
• 1 (4 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained
• Hot cooked rice or pasta (for serving)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place the halved chicken breast pieces in the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly spread out in a single layer.
2. In a small bowl, combine the dried salad dressing mix with water, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
3. Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring that all the chicken pieces are coated with the dressing.
4. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat setting for approximately three hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together and ensures that the chicken becomes tender and juicy.
5. In another bowl, soften the cream cheese by microwaving it for a few seconds or allowing it to come to room temperature. Once softened, mix the cream cheese with the undiluted cream of chicken soup until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
6. Add the drained mushroom stems and pieces to the cream cheese and soup mixture, stirring to incorporate them evenly.
7. Pour the creamy soup mixture over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring that the sauce is evenly distributed.
8. Continue cooking the chicken and sauce mixture for an additional 60 minutes on low heat or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches a safe internal temperature.
