Chicken Fetticine Recipe
We’re having crockpot Chicken Fetticine tonight and it’s one of those unbelievably easy and tasty meals so I thought I’d post it here for you. My friend Jana shared it with me years ago and it remains a family favorite to this day!
Chicken Fetticine
- 4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts–thawed
- 1 package Italian dressing seasoning
- 6 oz cream cheese
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small can mushroom pieces (optional)
- 1 (12 oz) package fetticine noodles (we like the spinach enriched ones…fetticine florentine)
Place chicken and Italian seasonings ONLY in the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add rest of ingredients except fetticine noodles, and cook for another half hour. Meanwhile, boil noodles according to package instructions. Serve over cooked noodles, or mix all together!
This makes enough for a family of 5 with leftovers, and it’ll stick to your ribs!

Sounds tasty. But “6-8 hours”?
By the way: have you heard about the new trend in cooking, called “slow food”? I have met one of the founders of the movement, an Italian, Carlo Barsotti (living in Sweden, he had a lecture in the school I work), and I liked the idea very much. I even bought his book :).

Sure, Amy, just send ME the royalty check!!
This is a super duper family favorite and one I hadn’t made in a while…thanks for the reminder Mary!
Ann~it is WORTH the wait. All the time in the crockpot makes the chicken truly melt in your mouth tender.

So has anyone tried this recipe yet? :O) You know you are always welcome to print off anything from my site!
Ann, I’m intrigued by your slow food…had to c&p this from the site:
Why is it called Slow Food?~A nod to the contrast with fast food values, Slow Food is a reference to living an unhurried life, beginning at the table.
Wow, I’m ALL for that!

Found your site looking for references to slow food and landed on this page.
I think that slow does not necessarilly mean slow, but is about getting back into the kitchen and cooking anything, rather than relying upon fast food and takeaways.
I assume that your reference to a crockpot is to what we would call a slow cooker in the UK, whereby a pot is kept just at a slow simmer over the course of a day? It is especially well suited to the less tender cuts of meant (e.g. Skirt of beef). I am surprised to hear of it used for a tender breast of chicken.

Yes, I’ve heard it called a slow-cooker also, so I’m sure we’re talking about the same thing. The chicken is so tender, it just shreds apart easily with a fork. We love this recipe!
I was so intrigued by the “slow food” concept…especially in light of your definition. Fast food is a rare thing for our family, we love home-cooking! Thanks for commenting, I’ll be sure to check out your food site!
