Simple Salad with Italian Chicken

3 Thin Sliced Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/2 packet Dry Italian Salad Dressing
1 Cup Regular Zesty Italian Dressing
1 bag Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Croutons

In Crockpot, pour liquid dressing on bottom, place chicken in then sprinkle dry dressing on top. Cook on high for 1 1/2 hours. Pull out chicken, cut into small pieces, then put back in crockpot for another 1/2 hour on high.

In large bowl with lid; mix lettuce, and cheese and toss. We store whatever we don't eat in this bowl (don't mix dressing or chicken in leftover bowl, it will create soggy lettuce.).

Fix salad as you like.

We used 3 cheese ranch dressing, and cheese croutons. Very simple and delicious!
