Ingredients
- Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
- 12 oz angel hair pasta cooked separately
- 8 oz cream cheese cubed
- Seasonings & Flavor Base
- 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
- 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Pantry Staples
- 2 cloves garlic minced (or 1 teaspoon jarred garlic)
- Black pepper to taste
- Salt to taste (adjust at end)
- Fresh parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 6-quart crock pot with nonstick spray.
- Place chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom. Season lightly with pepper.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, Italian dressing mix, chicken broth, and garlic.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Add cubed cream cheese and butter on top.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
- When chicken reaches 165°F and is fork-tender, stir the sauce until smooth.
- Shred chicken or leave whole, depending on preference.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Serve hot over cooked angel hair pasta and garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Always cook pasta separately—adding it to the crock pot will cause it to overcook.
- Stirring at the end is key to creating a smooth, silky sauce.
- For extra richness, finish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
