Crock Pot Angel Chicken
A creamy and comforting slow cooker chicken dish that is perfect for busy days and family dinners.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (Use boneless, skinless breasts for easy shredding.)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (Shake the can first and taste the sauce before serving.)
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix (This mix adds herbs and a mild tang.)
- 1 cup chicken broth (Use low-sodium broth to control salt.)
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta (Cook it al dente to avoid over-soft noodles.)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (Freshly grated gives the best flavor.)
- to taste Salt and pepper (Start light; you can add more at the table.)
- for garnish Chopped parsley (Fresh parsley brightens the plate.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a slow cooker, combine cream of chicken soup, Italian dressing mix, and chicken broth. Stir well.
- Add chicken breasts to the slow cooker and coat them with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions.
- Once the chicken is done, shred it in the slow cooker and stir in Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the creamy chicken mixture over the cooked angel hair pasta and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
Leftovers refrigerate well for up to 3 days. Store chicken and sauce separately from the pasta to avoid mushiness. For meal prep, freeze portions without pasta for up to 3 months.
