4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Royale
Instructions:
Prep the Base: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker crock with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom, ensuring they aren't overlapping too much so they cook evenly.
Mix the Royale Crown: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, the condensed cream of chicken soup, and the dry seasoning packet. Stir vigorously until the mixture is relatively smooth and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Layer it Up: As shown, spoon a generous, equal mound of the cream cheese mixture directly on top of each chicken breast. Do not spread it all over or mix it into a liquid yet—letting it sit right on top allows it to baste the chicken perfectly as it heats.
Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours (or HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours), until the chicken is tender and registers an internal temperature of 165°F.
Finish and Serve: Once cooked, give the sauce a gentle stir around the chicken to incorporate all the juices that released during cooking. This will create a smooth, velvety gravy.
Pro-Tips for the Perfect Bake
Shred or Keep Whole? You can serve the chicken breasts whole, topped with the luxurious sauce, or you can use two forks to shred the chicken directly into the slow cooker, creating a rich, creamy pulled chicken that is incredible over hot biscuits or baked potatoes.
Add a Veggie Kick: Want to make it a true one-pot meal? Toss a few cups of fresh broccoli florets or sliced mushrooms into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. They will steam perfectly right in the sauce.
