Healthy Crock Pot Recipe: Italian Cream Cheese Chicken

November 9, 2011 by Laura 79 Comments

You’re about to learn about my amazing Italian Cream Cheese Chicken recipe – one of my family’s favorite meals!

If you didn’t know it already, after reading this recipe it will be very clear to you that I am not afraid to cook with, serve my family, or eat high fat foods. Welcome to a recipe that includes butter, cream and cream cheese. Oh yes, that’s why it tastes so good.

If you are afraid of fats, I’d love to assure you of how healthy it is to eat these whole, natural foods. There’s a big difference in the fat you consume at McGreasies and fat which is whole and natural. Our bodies, skin and hair need healthy fats in order to thrive. Here is a post I wrote a while ago regarding butter and cream – and if you’d like to read through my entire series of Getting Real with Food posts, you can do that here.

Ah, and I have to laugh at myself because while this recipe calls for butter, cream and cream cheese – it also calls for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which always makes me think of low-fat cooking. I’m not afraid of the fat in the skin of a chicken, nor am I afraid of cooking a chicken with bones – but I don’t really prefer pieces of bone or skin in my pasta dishes. Therefore, I find that boneless, skinless chicken works best in this recipe. ;)

      When I was allergic to milk I often simmered goat milk in a skillet until it was reduced and thickened. It makes a delicious cheesey tasting sauce. You could cook the chicken and then add the reduced goat milk to it and I think it would be similar to the posted recipe. Hope you like it! It really filled a void in my diet for many years.

    I’ve been cooking a variation of this for a while now. A great friend now gives us free raw milk from her Jersey, and I will now use cream rather than the horrifying cream of (fill in to many disturbing ingredients here) soup. THANK YOU for what you do here! It’s been a blessing. Now, my hubby knows that a new recipe comes from here and he knows it’s “That Blog I found!” lol.

    Laura, I have a question… (although I’m afraid of the answer ;) ) Anyways, it’s very hard to find raw milk in my city – I think we’re down to one store that sells it and I don’t even want to know what the price is b/c I’m sure if I wanted to make my own creams and buttermilk, etc… with it it would cost me a fortune. Do you still think that buy regular cream cheese and buttermilk, etc… from the stores are still a healthy version? Not that I have much choice but are these fats still healthy even not coming from Raw milk or being organic? I do buy organic milk but mostly also use Almond milk or coconut milk (and sometime rice milk).

          it’s not really ‘making’ buttermilk, it’s actually a buttermilk substitute.

          use 1 Tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and add milk to make 1 cup. let sit for about 5 minutes or until thickened (although i usually skip that part). here are more options:

      Unfortunately, my understanding is that many of the “bad things” like hormones, pesticides, antibiotics and such are more concentrated in the fattier parts of regular milk. Therefore, it’s best to at least buy organic varieties of dairy if possible. I like your idea of using mostly Almond or coconut milk, and the occasional regular dairy.

      On the other hand, I always say that AT LEAST if you are making food from scratch at home, even if you are using regular ol’ store bought ingredients (like regular dairy products), at least you are eating a healthier diet than if you were eating a lot of boxed processed foods or eating out all the time. :)

    I’m iffy on eating super high fat meals regularly. I’m totally with you on eating healthy fats, but high fat meals – well, both my husband’s and my digestive system respond really badly to too much fat, and I can’t eat large quantities of dairy. Instead I pair fats with things like veggies, beans, etc, and usually only use either meat or dairy. It’s cheaper, and our bodies fair much better, and truthfully, that’s how people used to eat anyway. The only ones who could afford to ingest rich meals and large quantities of fat were the wealthy, who suffered from a lot of health problems. We’re grad students (I’m actually currently doing research on the history of food, of all things – nothing like combining work and your passion), so we eat like peasants – heavy on the beans and veggies, meat and good fat to impart flavour. I figure it’s best to listen to your body, and ours protest with too much fat. Everyone needs to figure out what works for them.

    Just wanted to share that most every crock pot may contain lead that will leach into your food. So even healthy crock pot recipes may now have become toxic. You might want to research crock pots and test yours to see if it’s one of the few that might not contain lead. A good link to start is from here: http://greenlivingqa.com/content/slow-cooker-lead-free-glaze. Read all of the comments to learn of research others have done. No amount of lead is safe for human consumption, though the government allows a certain amount in products anyway. The heat from crock pot cooking leaches the lead out much quicker and in higher quantities than cold food coming into contact with lead surfaces. I encourage all to do some research before crock-pot cooking again. An alternative is cooking like great-grandma did in pre-crock pot days, dutch oven style, though I’d encourage enamel lined cast iron with proof there is no lead in the interior glaze. Xtrema (ceramic cookware) is one brand with such proof as is Le Creuset (enameled cast iron-don’t get their non-stick stuff). Steel can leach (check for nickel!) and aluminum or non-stick cookware is the worst for leaching aluminum or other dangerous chemicals. If you’ve never researched cookware, you’re in for an eye-opener of how toxic most of the stuff is we all commonly use. Debra’s Green Living site referenced above has several threads that discuss research on various kinds of cookware (as well as many other toxic topics). Healthy living extends well beyond the food we eat.

      If you read through the comments of crock pot owners on Debra’s post, a few share their responses from Hamilton Beach. They got the same response as you about no lead until pushed further. One comment posted their written response from HB that said there was less than 10% of the allowable limit of lead, another said the HB attorney cited one micron per liter of lead. Another wrote that her Hamilton Beach burst into flames on her coutnertop (thankfully she was home!). One micron is a very small amount in the big picture if a crock pot is essential to have. From reading through the comments on Debra’s site, I’m not convinced there is a perfectly safe crock pot out there so it’s not in my cooking rotation.

    Can I tell you, my house smells amazing! I even made the home made Italian dressing mix. Super easy! I planned on making chicken today anyway. Got soy cream and soy cream cheese and used margarine (we have a dairy allergy in our family) and I’ve used these things before in crock pot dishes and they worked well. So you can make it dairy free if you wanted. My kids asked for it over noodles with broccoli. How can I refuse that request?! thanks for another great recipe!

    Have you heard of Katie Kimball’s recipe ebook called “Everything Beans”? She’s at Kitchen Stewardship.com. She shows how to make a white sauce for pasta with white beans, and many other ways to use beans. Maybe you bean-haters could get a few ideas about preparing beans in new ways for your family.

    I, too, need the number of servings info on recipes. Sometimes I cang gauge it by how much meat is in a dish or something like that, but sometimes it’s just hard to tell, and I cook for my husband and myself, but sometimes (weekly at the very least) for a crowd of 40 to 50 pelple. It really is crucial to know how many people I can count on the dish feeding.

    Love your blog, there are so many delicious looking recipes, and this one looks outta sight!

I think I am going to cut the italian mix back to 1 tsp though b/c it was extra salty, but it was VERY good….I am actually having leftovers today for lunch :)…Oh, and I cooked it on the 6 hour setting and the chicken was somewhat burned on the sides (but that always happens with my crockpot, I think because it is so big and high powered apparently) so I am going to adjust the setting down a notch next time probably or not cook it as long. Other then that, it was perfect. This is definitely something I am going to cook for company in the future! Thanks so much for the recipe!

I thought it would be missing something but the dish is still wonderful. Also, I tasted the chicken before I put the cream & cream cheese in and it was so incredibly delicious that way too…I think I am going to make it both ways in the future.

    Tried this with chicken once and with boneless pork ribs another time – both were fantastic! I know that some people can not handle high fat foods, but I have to say, being someone who has digestive issues, this meal soothed my stomach so well. I did not get the usual bloating and abdominal pain after I ate. I did use brown rice instead of pasta, but still…this makes me want to do more research into eating whole, natural fats. It just might keep my gut happy!

    Hi Laura,

    Just made this for the first time tonight! We are having it for dinner tomorrow, but I did a little taste-test, of course. Oh my goodness! This is off the charts delicious! I made my husband taste it because I can’t wait until tomorrow. He loved it, too. Thank you, Thank you! My only note is that I couldn’t find celery flakes for the dressing mix, so I bought celery seed and used only 1/4 tsp. Seemed to be an ok replacement.

    Oh, Laura! Thank you for sharing this recipe again today! It was perfect timing for me as I didn’t know what to make for dinner and had all the ingredients just waiting to be used up. I didn’t mention the cream cheese to my husband as he usually doesn’t like cream cheese. When he tasted it, he said, “That’s some good chicken!” And I think he took three helpings. This was a big hit for our family! Thanks so much for your delicious recipes!

    I made this last week. I cooked 2 pounds of boneless, skinless breasts in the crock pot with the seasoning and 1/2 cup homemade chicken broth. (I left out the butter). After 6 hours on low, I shredded the chicken and added the block of cream cheese. I was going to add some cream, but for 2 pounds of chicken this was plenty of sauce. I served it over whole wheat noodles with green beans. My family loved it!

    Making this right now! I can’t afford the herbs needed to make your seasoning, so I bought an herb mix instead. So excited to try this

      I realize that I forgot to buy cream, but oh well. I’ll use a little water

    Made this yesterday for lunch to serve over tortellini — so yummy!!

    The leftovers make great chicken enchiladas! I stir in diced jalapenos and frozen spinach (thawed), and spread it onto the tortillas. I use to make my chicken enchiladas topped with cheese whiz and salsa, but I’m planning to use your real food Velveeta cheese sauce (minus the ground beef) instead.

    Do you have any recommendations for how you would cook this if you accidentally forgot to put it in the crock pot on time? I was thinking in my Dutch oven in the oven maybe?

      Yes, I’d just do it on low heat in a large pot on the stovetop. :)

    Any idea how long to cook this in the instant pot? Or if it’s even possible? Thank you!

      Maybe 30 min at hi pressure? Just a guess as I’ve not actually tried it. Though I don’t know why it wouldn’t work!
