Notes
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 (0.7-oz) packet Italian dressing mix
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3 Tbsp butter, room temperature
1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
¾ cup chicken broth
Cooked angel hair pasta
Instructions
Place chicken in the crockpot.
In a saucepan, combine Italian dressing mix, cream cheese, butter, soup, and broth. Heat over medium-high heat just until cream cheese is melted and incorporated into the soup.
Pour sauce over chicken. Cover slow cooker.
Turn crock-pot on low for 4 to 6 hours. Serve over cooked angel hair pasta.
Notes
Boneless chicken breasts work well, but chicken tenders or boneless thighs can be used if preferred.
Use 1 packet of Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix. Do not prepare it as salad dressing—only use the dry seasoning mix.
Cream of mushroom, cream of celery, or cream of broccoli soup can be substituted for the cream of chicken soup if you'd like a different flavor.
Unsalted cream of chicken soup is recommended to help keep the sodium level lower.
Frozen broccoli or spinach can be added directly to the slow cooker for extra vegetables.
After cooking, the chicken can be shredded with two forks before serving if desired. This is also a great way to stretch the recipe for additional servings.
Serving Suggestions
This creamy chicken is delicious served over angel hair pasta, but it also pairs well with steamed rice or mashed potatoes. Round out the meal with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, garlic bread, or warm dinner rolls for a complete and satisfying dinner.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through.
