I am all about the easy recipes and this Easy Crockpot Italian Chicken is a creamy, cheesy dinner that I’ve been making since college. Yes, college! I was totally that girl who geeked out with her crockpot and made dinner for all her friends on a Friday instead of hitting the drive-through.

When it’s brisk and blustery out (or, in other words, just another Minnesota night!) there’s nothing better than a cozy crockpot dinner. Oh, wait, maybe there is something better – an EASY crockpot dinner is the best, which is what I’ve got for you today. I mean, who wants to deal with a complicated crockpot dinner?

You guys know not all crockpot recipes are created equal, so rest assured this Italian Chicken is well tested and family-approved. Like my Crockpot Pulled Pork, Chicken Tacos and Crockpot Spanish Chicken, this easy Italian Chicken recipe is a breeze to make and is full of flavor. This easy recipe has been in my repertoire for years. It’s a six-ingredient dinner that’s a total “set-it-and-forget-it” recipe. The chicken cooks in the creamy sauce until it’s falling-apart tender. Serve it over noodles or rice or add veggies to it if you want – this Italian Chicken is so versatile.

Tips and Tricks to Make the BEST Crock Pot Italian Chicken

• Be sure to spray your crockpot with cooking spray before adding the chicken. This will prevent sticking and make clean-up easier! Another solution is to use one of these amazing Crock Pot Liners!
• I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe, but you can also substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs or a mix of both.
• I don’t add any extra salt to this recipe because the soup I use has enough. Depending on the kind of soup you use you may want to adjust the seasoning, so give the sauce a taste once it’s cooked and adjust as needed. Remember, you can always add more salt but it’s really hard to take the salt out!
• We love egg noodles, but you can substitute your favorite pasta shape or serve it over cooked brown or white rice.

Can I add vegetables to Crockpot Italian Chicken?

Yes, you can add vegetables! I recommend waiting until the last hour of cook time to add them. Here are some ideas:

• Broccoli florets
• Green beans
• Green Peas
