Servings

4 large chicken breasts
1 Italian dressing seasoning packet
1/2 cup water
1 4oz block of cream cheese I use 1/3 reduced fat
1 10.5oz can cream of chicken soup I use low-fat
4 cups rice cooked according to package directions I use whole grain brown rice.

Cook rice according to package instructions to make 4 cups cooked rice.
Place frozen chicken in a crock pot and season evenly with Italian dressing seasoning packet.
Add the water and let cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
When chicken is cooked all the way through and tender, shred it with a fork. Do not drain. A hand mixer works well too.
Warm cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds, (see note below) and add to crockpot along with the chicken soup.
Mix thoroughly and let cook on high for another 20 minutes until warmed through.
Serve over rice

If you are short on time at the end of the day, heat the soup and cream cheese in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes before adding to the crockpot.
