If you’re wondering “what’s Italian about this?” I’ll be honest…same. I have seen different variations of this recipe all over the internet before deciding to post my own lightened up version, and it’s always called Creamy Italian Chicken. I assume that’s because it uses Italian dressing seasoning, but I’m pretty sure cream of chicken soup isn’t authentically Italian (lol). I’m just using the recognizable name for this dish, so Italians, don’t yell at me!

What should I serve this with?

This Slow Cooker Creamy Italian Chicken pairs well with plenty of different side dishes or bases. It’s great on its own alongside a salad, green beans, or some roasted vegetables. It’s also great served over top of mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. You can also easily make it a low carb meal by putting it over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles!

I made the serving size 2/3 cup because that was a very filling serving for me served over top of a carb or other base. If you’re going to serve it on its own with veggies on the side and you want a heartier serving you can do four servings of 1 cup each instead of six servings of 2/3 cup.
