For the Chicken
  • 1.5 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts The main protein that absorbs the delicious sauce flavors beautifully.
  • Salt and Pepper Essential for basic seasoning; adjust according to your personal taste.
  • Vegetable Oil Use for searing chicken; it's optional if you're skipping the browning step.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese Adds a luscious creaminess to the sauce; feel free to use dairy-free alternatives if needed.
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter Enhances the flavor and creaminess; can be substituted with margarine for a dairy-free version.
  • 10.5 ounces Cream of Chicken Soup Forms the sauce base; choose low or no sodium variants for health considerations.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Infuses robust flavor into the dish.
  • ¾ cup Chicken Broth Adds moisture and depth; opt for low-sodium if desired.
  • 1 packet Good Seasons Dry Italian Salad Dressing Mix This is the key flavoring component; a homemade mix is also an excellent choice!

For Garnishing

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crock Pot Angel Chicken
  1. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season your boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, one 10.5-ounce can of cream of chicken soup, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Pour in ¾ cup of chicken broth and a packet of Good Seasons dry Italian salad dressing mix.
  3. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with a non-stick spray for easy cleanup. Place the seared chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot, then pour your prepared creamy sauce over the chicken.
  4. Cover the Crock Pot with the lid, setting it to low heat, and let the chicken cook for 3-4 hours. Alternatively, you can cook on high for 2.5-3 hours.
  5. Prepare 16 ounces of angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. In the last 15 minutes of cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente.
  6. Once the chicken and pasta are ready, serve the Crock Pot Angel Chicken by plating the pasta first and topping it with the creamy chicken and sauce, garnishing as desired.
