Description
Crockpot Angel Chicken with Pasta is a creamy, comforting dish perfect for busy weeknights, featuring tender shredded chicken in a luscious sauce served over angel hair pasta.
Ingredients
- 2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 10.5 ounce cream of chicken soup
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
- 12 ounce angel hair pasta
Instructions
1. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Whisk in the cream of chicken soup, garlic, chicken broth, and dry Italian dressing mix until the mixture is well combined.
2. Slow Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and pour the creamy sauce over the top. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours (or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours), until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
3. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it right in the crockpot, then stir it into the creamy sauce.
4. Cook the Pasta: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the creamy Crockpot Angel Chicken over the cooked pasta. Top with chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper, if desired.
Notes
Using high-quality, fresh chicken breasts is key to achieving tender, juicy shredded chicken. Adjust cooking time based on your crockpot model to avoid overcooked chicken.
