Charitable Chicken AKA Cancer Chicken AKA Crockpot Chicken

When Kaylene had her big melanoma surgery we were at the hospital all day. When we came home we were all exhausted and our sweet relief society presidency brought us dinner. This chicken was the main dish. For years Kaylene called it Cancer Chicken but Steven thought that sounded sort of disgusting so they renamed it Charitable Chicken. When I originally asked for the recipe they called it Crock Pot Chicken...however that is sort of ambiguous. And when Kaylene says Charitable Chicken there is no ambiguity. We know exactly what she's referring to.

Ingredients
2-3 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg dry Italian dressing mix
1/2 cube butter
8 oz cream cheese
1 can cream of mushroom (or chicken) soup

Directions
Put 1st 3 ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. (Sometimes I melt the butter and mix the dressing mix in and then put in the crock pot with the chicken. It makes me feel like the chicken is cooking in the mixed herbs more.)

30-45 min before serving, ad the cream cheese and soup.

Serve over rice or noodles or baked/mashed potatoes.
