Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken

A friend shared this Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken recipe with me. I knew it was a good one or she would never have shared it.

 

She’s like that!

It really is good though. The sauce is like a creamy Alfredo sauce. Great over noodles.

Her whole family loves it including her two little ones.

I do think it’s better with boneless, skinless chicken. The skin doesn’t get crispy in the slow cooker and in my opinion, is just not eatable!
