Description
A tender and creamy slow-cooked chicken dish served over angel hair pasta, featuring a comforting herb-studded sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2–2.5 lbs total)
- 1 (10–10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 packet (about 1 oz) Italian dressing mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed (full fat for the creamiest texture)
- 1 pound (16 oz) angel hair pasta (dry)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker in a single layer.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the condensed cream of chicken soup, Italian dressing packet, and cubed cream cheese until fairly smooth.
- Pour the soup and cream cheese mixture over the chicken breasts, covering them as much as possible.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (or on HIGH for 3–4 hours) until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- About 10–12 minutes before serving, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and toss with olive oil or butter.
- Remove the chicken and shred it, then return it to the sauce and stir thoroughly.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the shredded chicken and sauce over the cooked angel hair pasta, finishing with Parmesan and parsley if desired.
Notes
Use low-sodium soup and reduced-sodium dressing mix for a healthier option. Optional add-ins include sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted red peppers.
