Best Hawaiian Haystacks!

3-4 chicken breasts
8oz square of cream cheese, softened
1 package Italian dressing mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
cooked rice
toppings: shredded cheese, chopped celery, diced green onions, chopped bell or red pepper, pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges, chow mein noodles, sliced olives, shredded coconut, sliced water chestnuts, etc.

Combine cream cheese, dressing mix and soup into bowl and stir until mixed.  Place chicken breasts in crockpot and cover with soup mixture.  Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low on 6-8 hours.  Right before serving, remove chicken from crockpot and shred meat with a fork.  Place back in pot and stir to combine with sauce.  Serve over cooked rice and top with your favorite toppings.

Recipe from Just Cook Already.  The author includes a recipe for coconut rice.  It did give it a little extra, but this recipe is good over plan rice too, and makes it easier to cook.
