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:
- 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.
- Add Chicken:
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
