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.

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
