The very first time I served this to my family, I was a bit skeptical about adding the Italian dressing mix, but as it turns out, it was the secret touch the dish needed. It’s a breeze to prepare, especially with the help of a slow cooker. Just set everything up in the morning, and by the time you’re home, a scrumptious dinner awaits. It’s become the dish our family looks forward to, and guests often ask for it by name!

Here’s a favorite tip: Shredding the chicken right in the slow cooker melds the flavors more deeply, making every forkful a perfect blend of chicken and pasta.
