Description

Crockpot Angel Chicken is a rich, creamy, and comforting slow-cooked meal featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a savory blend of cream cheese, Italian dressing mix, and golden mushroom soup. Served over delicate angel hair pasta, this no-fuss dinner is perfect for busy weeknights and the whole family will love its creamy, flavorful sauce.


Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can golden mushroom soup
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed and softened
  • 1 (0.7 oz) packet Italian dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pasta and Garnish

  • 12 oz angel hair pasta, cooked according to package instructions
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot, arranging them evenly to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the golden mushroom soup, chicken broth, softened cream cheese, Italian dressing mix, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine and Cook: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
  4. Shred and Coat: Once cooked, shred or slice the chicken breasts directly in the crockpot, then stir well to coat the chicken evenly in the creamy sauce.
  5. Prepare Pasta and Serve: Meanwhile, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Serve the creamy chicken mixture over the cooked pasta and garnish with fresh parsley if desired for added color and freshness.

Notes

  • For a thinner sauce, stir in extra chicken broth or milk before serving to reach your desired consistency.
  • If golden mushroom soup is unavailable, cream of chicken soup is a great substitute and will maintain the creamy texture.
  • This creamy chicken pairs wonderfully with a side of garlic bread or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
