Scale
Chicken and Sauce Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 10.5-ounce can cream of chicken soup
- 1-ounce packet dry Italian dressing mix
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
For Serving
- Cooked angel hair pasta
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, butter, cream of chicken soup, Italian dressing mix, chicken broth, and minced garlic. Stir the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a creamy sauce base.
- Add Chicken to Crockpot: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.
- Shred or Slice: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred or slice them according to your preference, allowing the sauce in the slow cooker to be served alongside.
- Serve: Spoon the chicken and the creamy sauce over cooked angel hair pasta for a comforting, delicious meal that combines creamy textures with tender chicken and pasta.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for best results and easy shredding.
- For a thicker sauce, you can mix a small amount of cornstarch with cold water and add to the crockpot about 30 minutes before serving.
- If you prefer less sodium, choose low-sodium cream of chicken soup and chicken broth.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing is not recommended due to the cream cheese-based sauce texture.
