Description

Crockpot Angel Chicken is a creamy, flavorful, and easy-to-make slow cooker dish featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich blend of ranch seasoning, Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, and butter. Perfect for a comforting family dinner, this recipe allows you to set it and forget it while the crockpot works its magic, resulting in shredded chicken bathed in a luscious sauce that pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

Dairy

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter (4 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the four boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your crockpot, creating a base for the sauce to surround.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly combine the ranch seasoning packet, dry Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, and butter. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Assemble in Crockpot: Pour the prepared creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring the breasts are well coated.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the low heat setting for 6 to 7 hours. The chicken will become tender and fully cooked during this time.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Once cooking is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir the shredded chicken into the creamy sauce to fully combine flavors.
  6. Serve: Spoon the creamy shredded chicken and sauce over your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a hearty, comforting meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh chicken breasts thawed completely before cooking.
  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor profile.
  • Softening the cream cheese beforehand helps it blend smoothly into the sauce.
  • This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the cooking time slightly if using frozen chicken breasts, ensuring they are cooked through thoroughly.
