Tru Brit you are a star! This was so easy peasy to make, smelled delish the whole time it was cooking and when served up I heard not a peep out of my 6 boys, not an argument, not a kerfuffle, blissss, this is now a staple! Try it, you'll be hooked!

This is a great dish to put into a crock pot and end up with a delicious supper. I only used 1/2 the recipe yield, omitted the butter, used ff 2 oz. cream cheese and ff soup. Added some swiss cheese. Mixed everything together and cooked on Hi for 3 hours. I did add a little cornstarch to thicken the end results. Served this over noodles. It's a keeper.

DOESN'T get easier than this, TRUE! Chicken LITERALLY M-E-L-T-S in mouth too! Use 4 VERY large chicken breasts yes, HOW they get that size is anyone's guess! Only took 6 hours for me, Crockpot's speedy as can be, Was on LOW entire way, Thanks for the recipe!!! MADE MY DAY!!!

My DB and I loved this! It had a creamy texture and was great with the added broccoli and cauliflower as sugggested in another review. I added some garlic and onion powder to the chicken because I thought it might need some more spice. Served over fettuccini noodles with garlic bread.

I also thought this was very good. I used 4 chicken breasts and cooked it for 5 hours, added half the cream cheese and a cup of shredded swiss. Yum!

Loved it! We can't get cream of chicken soup here so used Cream Soup Mix (Replacement for Cream of ___ Soups) Substitute with a chicken consumme liquid as the liquid instead. I can buy 'blocks 'of ham but the more finely shredded stuff that's more expensive but better quality is the one we prefer so I used that too. DH had his with pasta and salad, I had mine just with salad. While mine wasn't swimming in butter, it did seem like a lot (im my crockpot at least) I do believe that I could cut down on it considerably to make this healthier, so next time I might even just add a tablespoon of olive oil (a healthier fat)and sub the rest of the butter with the correct volume of chicken stock. I think that a few blanched veggies (thin sliced broccoli, peas, green beens) thrown in at the very end would go well in this too, to complete a more or less one pot meal. I will also increase the herb ratio next time - just personal preference. Please see my rating system: 4 stars for a very easy comfort home meal that will be on our menus again and which we will adapt a little to cut the cholesterol so that we can enjoy it more often. Thanks!

I really liked this! I've tried it in the crock pot as well as on the stovetop and I prefer it on the stove, actually, just b/c the chicken has a little more texture and it's not all mushy-- I use half the amount of butter and use it to brown the chicken in the pan after I season it with the recommended seasoning (I use black pepper though) I cook the chicken through, add the soup and cream cheese, cook through (I add 1 soup can of water to make the sauce more creamy instead of "glumpy") and, once hot, added diced up deli ham (that's all I have at my house!) and let it cook for a half hour or so... I then mix the mixture with my egg noodles so it's kinda like a Chicken Helper dish. Hubby LOVES it. (did I mention it's his FAVORITE dish ever?)

Very easy! I was looking for a nice winter comfort meal and this was perfect. I cut up the chicken into 1" chunks and used CookbookCarrie's Dry Cream Soup Mix in place of the canned cream of chicken soup. I was wondering if there should be more cream cheese, but 8 oz is perfect. My cooking time was 6 hours — but my crockpot always seems to cook fast. Thanks!

very tasty, however next time I will reduce butter by at least half as there was a bit too much butter. I also served this over biscuits, boiled potatoes and stove top stuffing (separately), to great success.

Maybe mine did not come out like everyone else's but I thought it was too thick and rich tasting. Did not really enjoy this at all.
