Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease your crockpot with non-stick spray.

- Add Chicken: Place chicken breasts in the crockpot and pour the creamy sauce over the top.

Notes
- Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness and flavor.
- Don’t skip the Italian dressing mix—it’s what gives this recipe its signature tangy, savory flavor.
- If your sauce seems too thick, stir in a splash of milk or chicken broth before serving.
- Reheat leftovers gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a bit of added liquid to keep it creamy.
- Pair it with garlic bread or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
