Pinterest Challenge #20 - Batman Chicken Pasta

I have seen this recipe all over Pinterest (I believe even from day 1) so I decided to break down and give it a try.  It is usually called Italian Chicken - but we renamed it Batman Chicken Pasta because of the bow tie pasta that I used.  Elie really likes calling it Batman Pasta - not that she even has a clue who Batman is!  So here is what you need:

  • 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet of Italian Dressing mix (dry envelope)
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese (I used half fat free and half regular)
  • 1 can of cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 can water

If you can tell from my picture, I made a boo-boo.  I opened the cream of mushroom soup, and when I was about to pour it in, I realized I was supposed to use cream of chicken - so I used the mushroom soup the next day.
Add all ingredients to the Crock Pot and cook for 2.5-3 hours (depending on your chicken).  Next time I will pre-dice my chicken, but this time I didn't have time to wait for it to defrost and cut it, so I just stuck it in frozen (I cooked it for about 3.5 hours since it was frozen).  Also, since I used fat free cream cheese, it is super hard to get it to melt and blend with everything else, so in the beginning I stirred it 3 times about 30 minutes apart to try to get it blended.  We had a few small pieces that didn't blend, but you couldn't tell when you ate it.
We really liked the pasta, and I will definitely make it again.

There was no recipe linked to this Pinterest Link - so I just used the information under the picture and modified it a tad.
