    This is not your standard mushy Crock-Pot meal. This creamy Italian chicken is packed with flavor and topped with crunch!

    Served over pasta or rice for a complete meal.

    ★ Why You'll Love this Recipe ★

    Tender chicken cutlets and veggies slow cook in a creamy Italian sauce, then are served over cooked pasta, egg noodles, or rice.

    For a finishing touch, we're adding crispy onions! This simple addition elevates this dish in both flavor and texture! Such a simple garnish, yet makes this slow cooker chicken dish so good.

    This is a family dinner that's easy to make, you can set to cook while you work and it even stores well so you can bring leftovers for lunch.

    ★ Ingredients You'll Need ★

    This dish comes together with a very simple list of ingredients.

    Here's everything you'll need:

    Crockpot Italian Chicken Ingredients
    • Chicken. You can use chicken breast or cutlet. If using breasts, you will want to pound them flat and slice them in half to they are not as thick. This creates better texture and shortens cook time.
    • Italian dressing. This acts as a marinade and a sauce. I like to use Olive Garden's Italian dressing but feel free to choose your favorite brand.
    • Cream cheese. This thickens and adds a rich creaminess to the sauce.
    • Mixed Vegetables. You can use frozen or fresh veggies. I use a blend of corn, carrots, green beans, and peas. Or just peas and carrots.
    • Oil. Any cooking oil will do. Try olive oil or keep it simple with vegetable oil.
    • Fried Onions. These add a yummy crunch, elevating this Crock-Pot chicken dinner. This is optional, but not too hard to pull off and really adds a nice texture to this dish!
    • Cooked pasta or rice. Choose your favorite noodle shape. I think bow tie pasta is fun for this dish or egg noodles but truly, any pasta or rice works. Try mixing it up if you make this dish often.

    ★ How to Make this Recipe ★

    This recipe comes together very easily!

    Here's a look at how the ingredients layer together and cook in the Crock-Pot:

    How to Make Crockpot Italian Chicken

    Once chicken and vegetables are cooked, serve chicken, sauce, and veggies over pasta and top with crispy onions. Super simple. So good!

    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    Marinate Your Chicken

    If you want to infuse a bit of flavor into your chicken, try marinating the chicken in the Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

    Marinate by placing raw chicken into a large Ziplock bag along with all the Italian dressing. Store in the fridge while marinating.

    Make sure to add all the dressing along with the chicken to your slow cooker when you're ready to cook.

    Storing Leftovers

    Leftovers can be stored for up to 5 days in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer. Store in an airtight container.

    To reheat, thaw to room temperature and then re-heat using the microwave or the stove top. Stir as needed.
