Cris here. The other day Mikey had a yummy pasta dish at one of our favorite restaurants and it has become our regular dish there. We love the flavor of this creamy dish and the last time we were there I decided I HAD to find a way to make this dish in my slow cooker!

How to Make Chicken Milano in a Crock Pot

Combine cream soups, cream cheese and sherry (or broth) in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer for 2 -4 minutes. Layer cream cheese mixture on top of mushrooms.

Serve over fettuccine and garnish with parsley.
Notes on Crock Pot Chicken Milano Recipe (Johnny Carino’s Copycat)
- We used our casserole crock pot for this recipe and it filled it ALL the way up to the tippy top! If you do not use a casserole crock, you will definitely want to use a 6-quart slow cooker.
- If you don’t like using cream soups from the can, here is our homemade alternative.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
