**We like things saucy and often double the sauce.

Place chicken in crock pot. In sauce pan melt butter. Stir in Italian salad dressing mix, soup, cream cheese & wine. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 4-5 hours. Pour over Cooked angel hair pasta or any kind of noodle you desire. Rice would work too, but our favorite is the Angle hair pasta.
