Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crockpot
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together cream cheese, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, white wine (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Add the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
Step 4: Pour and Cook
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure it’s mostly covered.
- Cook on Low: 6–8 hours
- Cook on High: 3–4 hours
The chicken should be tender and easy to shred.
