Step 2: Whisk the Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the dry Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth (or water). Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Layer the Ingredients
Scatter the cubed cream cheese over the chicken in the slow cooker. Then, pour the soup mixture evenly on top, ensuring that all the chicken is covered.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 4–6 hours or on High for 2–3 hours. The chicken is done when it is tender and begins to fall apart.
Step 5: Shred and Blend
Once cooked, shred the chicken in the pot using two forks. Stir well to incorporate the melted cream cheese into the sauce until it becomes smooth and creamy.
