Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix (about 1 ounce)
- 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed golden mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 4 ounces cream cheese
Pasta
- 1 pound angel hair pasta
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Place the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot, ensuring they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
- Make Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup butter. Add 1 packet of Italian dressing mix, 1 can of condensed golden mushroom soup, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and 4 ounces of cream cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Sauce and Chicken: Pour the prepared creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, covering all pieces as much as possible.
- Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken breasts are tender and cooked through.
- Cook Pasta: About 15 minutes before serving, cook 1 pound of angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Serve: Plate the cooked angel hair pasta and spoon the tender chicken breasts and creamy sauce over the top. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute cream cheese with half-and-half or sour cream for a variation in creaminess.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the chicken and simmer the sauce on the stovetop until it reaches desired consistency.
- Adding some fresh parsley or grated Parmesan as garnish can enhance flavor and presentation.
- Make sure to stir the sauce while melting to avoid lumps from the cream cheese and soup.
- For a lower sodium option, use reduced-sodium chicken broth and soup.
