1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

2. In a bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and pour over chicken.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender.
4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking. Cover to let it melt.
5. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Add a splash of milk if reheating leftovers and sauce has thickened.
You can substitute chicken thighs if you prefer darker meat.
