Crockpot Angel Chicken
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1½ pounds chicken breast, boneless and skinless
3 cloves garlic, chopped or left whole
10½ ounces cream of chicken soup
¾ cup chicken stock
4 ounces cream cheese
¼ cup butter
0.6 ounces Italian dressing mix, I used Good Seasons
1 pound angel hair pasta
Directions
- Spray the inside of the crockpot with no stick cooking spray.
- Add the chicken and garlic.
- Soften the butter and cream cheese in the microwave. Whisk until smooth.
- Whisk in the cream of chicken soup (don't dilute it).
- Add the Italian dressing mix and the chicken stock. Whisk until well mixed.
- Pour mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
- Just before chicken is done, cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions.
- Serve the chicken over the pasta.
______________________________________________________
If you are out of garlic cloves, use one teaspoon of garlic powder in place of the cloves.
Add a dash of white wine to this dish to make a rich sauce.
Be sure that you do not melt the butter and cream cheese. You only want to soften them so that you can mix them together.
If you are using chicken tenderloins instead of boneless skinless chicken breasts, you can reduce the cooking time down to four hours on the low setting instead of six.
For extra flavor, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper before adding them to the slow cooker. I always cook my chicken breasts on low heat so that they don't become tough.
Notes
- Store leftovers in airtight container (or covered with plastic wrap) in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- You probably don't want to freeze leftovers. The sauce can become grainy.
- Expert Tip: Be sure to spray the crockpot well with no-stick cooking spray for easy clean-up (or use a slow cooker liner).
