Crockpot Angel Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet (0.7 ounces) dry Italian dressing mix
  • 12 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked according to package instructions
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker:
    • Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
  2. Add Chicken:
    • Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Make the Sauce:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and dry Italian dressing mix. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Cook:
    • Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
    • Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Pasta:
    • About 20 minutes before the chicken finishes cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well.
  6. Serve:
    • Once the chicken is done, you can choose to shred it using two forks or leave it as whole breasts.
    • Serve the chicken and its creamy sauce over the cooked angel hair pasta.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Notes:

  • For added depth of flavor, some variations include adding a splash of white wine to the sauce mixture (Wishesndishes).
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly or let the sauce simmer uncovered for a few minutes before serving.
  • This recipe is versatile and pairs well with rice or mashed potatoes as alternatives to angel hair pasta.

Enjoy your delicious and comforting Crockpot Angel Chicken!
