Make a creamy, flavorful Italian-style chicken similar to Olive Garden’s famous dish using your slow cooker. This recipe is simple, hands-off, and perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
  5. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  6. If using spinach, stir it in during the last 15 minutes of cooking until wilted.
  7. Stir everything together until the chicken is coated in the creamy sauce. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a dish similar to Chicken & Gnocchi, stir in 1 (16 oz) package of shelf-stable or frozen potato gnocchi during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve this creamy crockpot chicken over cooked pasta like fettuccine or penne, or alongside warm breadsticks for dipping.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
