Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Giardiniera mix plus 1/4 juice
  • 1/4 cup Italian dressing
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 pound cauliflower florets optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the broth, Giardiniera mix and juice, and dressing to the pot. Whisk together to combine.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the pot. Sprinkle the garlic, salt, oregano, and basil on top. Place the butter on top of the chicken.
  • Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours. When the time is up, shred the chicken with two forks and toss in the juices.
