Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken

No ratings yet

I created this Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken recipe with busy weeknights in mind. It has the zesty Italian flavors I love, a rich, creamy sauce, and a true set-and-go method that keeps me out of the kitchen. Spoon it over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, and dinner is done.
