Crock Pot Angel Chicken

Serve over pasta or rice (go rice cooker!!). Also, I haven't tested this yet, but will soon, and then I"ll let you know how it is, from my perspective.

Ingredients:
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2-2 lbs.)
1- 8 oz. pkg. sliced fresh white or shiitake mushrooms
OR 8 oz. canned artichoke hearts (I bought as 2 - 4 oz. jars)
1/4 cup butter
1- .7 oz. pkg. Italian dry salad dressing mix
1- 10 3/4 oz. can condensed golden mushroom soup
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 of an 8 oz. tub cream cheese with chives and onion (fresh, snipped chives optional)

Directions:

1. Place chicken and mushrooms in slow cooker.
2. Melt butter in saucepan; stir in Italian dressing mix. Stir in soup, wine, and cream cheese until combined; pour over chicken.
3. Cook on low-heat for 4-5 hours.
4. Serve over rice or pasta; sprinkle with fresh chives if desired.

SO, the original is to be made with the mushrooms, but in attempt to make Monica try it, I substituted jarred artichoke hearts for the mushrooms--same amount--and it was SO, SO good, I thought! We served over angel hair pasta: WONDERFUL!
