Freezer meal: Crock pot Creamy Italian Chicken

This is an incredible recipe. I didn't freeze it, just made it fresh but I plan on making a couple to throw into the freezer for quick meals in the future! Again, I used the 1/3 less fat cream cheese and it turned out just fine.

Creamy Italian Chicken
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter cut into 1 inch cubes
1 package dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 Tablespoon minced onion

To freeze: place all ingredients into a gallon freezer bag.

To cook: thaw completely in fridge then cover and cook for 6-7 hours on LOW

Serve over rice or pasta

Add in ideas:
Frozen or fresh broccoli flourettes 45 minutes before finished cook time
Frozen peas 10 minutes before finished cook time
10 ounces frozen spinach (that has been thawed and squeezed dry) 10 minutes before finished cook time
