Creamy Angel Chicken (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Chicken must-haves
01 -
3 garlic cloves, chopped or left whole
02 -
1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
03 -
3/4 cup of chicken broth
04 -
0.6 oz packet of dry Italian seasoning mix (Good Seasons is great for this)
05 -
4 oz cream cheese, softened
06 -
10.5 oz can of concentrated cream of chicken soup
07 -
1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breast
→ Side ideas
08 -
1 lb of cooked angel hair pasta (follow package cooking instructions)
# Instructions:
01 -
Spray your slow cooker with non-stick spray or line it with a special liner to save cleanup time later.
02 -
Place your chicken breasts flat inside the cooker. Scatter the garlic cloves on top.
03 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt cream cheese and butter together. When it's smooth, whisk in chicken soup, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning until it's fully combined.
04 -
Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken. Cover with the lid and cook on a low setting for 6–8 hours or until the chicken becomes super tender.
05 -
If you'd like, shred the chicken with forks about 30 minutes before it's done. Let the shredded chicken sit in the sauce to absorb more flavor.
06 -
Boil your pasta according to the package directions while the chicken finishes cooking. Drain it and serve with the creamy chicken mixture.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish is a breeze—5 minutes to prep, and then the slow cooker does all the heavy lifting!
02 -
If you'd prefer an alternative to pasta, you can serve this over rice, mashed potatoes, or fluffy biscuits.
03 -
Make sure to use a dry Italian seasoning packet for the best flavor. Avoid bottled dressing—it won't taste the same.
