Cream Cheese Chicken

This recipe is from the cookbook Dinner Is Ready. Really easy and really yummy! Sometimes I add frozen broccoli when it is almost done. (You wouldn't want to add it to early or it would turn mushy). I don't follow the directions exactly either...I put all of the ingredients in the crock pot at the beginning and let them all cook together. I prefer bowtie pasta.

1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
1/2-1 c. butter or margarine
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz. cream cheese

Melt butter in crock pot on high. Mix italian salad dressing mix into butter. Cut chicken into 1" strips. Place in crock pot and stir to coat. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Remove chicken to plate to cool. Add 1 can of cream of chicken soup and cream cheese. Stir to melt and mix well until smooth and creamy. Remove sauce from crock pot and allow to cool. Place chicken and sauce into a gallon freezer bag. To serve: Thaw. Heat until piping hot and bubbly. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or hot buttered noodles.
