Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet (0.7 oz) dry Italian dressing mix
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 oz angel hair pasta, cooked according to package instructions
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:Â Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Make the Sauce:Â In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the Italian dressing mix, cream cheese, butter, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and minced garlic. Stir until the cream cheese and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare the Pasta:Â About 20 minutes before the chicken is done, cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Serve:Â Serve the chicken and sauce over the cooked pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
- Variations:Â You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup for a different flavor. Adding vegetables like broccoli or spinach during the last hour of cooking can enhance the dish’s nutritional value.
- Storage:Â Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if the sauce is too thick.
