Cream Cheese Chicken

4-6 chicken breast halves

1 pkg Good Seasons Italian salad dressing mix

8 oz cream cheese (or neufchatel)

1 can cream of chicken soup

Layer Chicken breasts in Crock-pot, sprinkle with dry Italian seasoning mix. I add water (maybe 1-2 cups) to the chicken to make more gravy. Cook for 5 hours on low. After 5 hours, add soup and cream cheese. Cook for one more hour (it melts through the chicken) remove chicken with tongs and set aside, stir or whisk sauce and add chicken breast back to chicken; serve with rice.
