Crockpot Cream Cheese Chicken

4 pounds Chicken without skin -- ready to cook
2 tablespoons Butter or Margarine -- melted
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 ounce Italian Salad Dressing Mix -- low salt
1 can Condensed Cream of Chicken soup
8 ounces Cream Cheese -- cubed
1/2 cup Chicken Broth (I used canned)
1 large Onion -- chopped
2 tablespoons Chicken Broth -- to cook onion (I used margarine)
2 cloves Garlic -- minced (I used the stuff in a jar in oil)

Brush chicken with butter and layer in crock pot with dry Italian
seasoning mix sprinkled on each layer. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
About 45 minutes before done, brown the onion in the chicken broth and
then add the cream cheese, soup, salt & pepper and remaining chicken
broth to the saucepan. Add the minced garlic and stir all ingredients
until smooth. Pour sauce mixture over chicken in crockpot and cook an
additional 30-45 minutes. Remove chicken to platter and stir sauce before
putting in gravy bowl.
