Ingredients

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet (1 oz) dry Italian dressing mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Sauce:

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
½ cup heavy cream (for extra richness)
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional, for added depth)

For Serving:

12 oz angel hair pasta, cooked according to package instructions
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle with Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper for extra flavor.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, cream cheese, heavy cream, and butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Pro Tip: If you want a deeper, herb-infused flavor, add a pinch of dried thyme at this step!

Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection

Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.

Step 4: Cook the Pasta

About 20 minutes before serving, cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 5: Shred and Combine

Once the chicken is cooked through, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir well so that the chicken soaks up all the creamy sauce.

Step 6: Assemble and Serve

Serve the creamy shredded chicken over a bed of warm angel hair pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese for the perfect finishing touch. Enjoy! 🍽️

Pro Tips for the Best Angel Chicken

💡 Use Chicken Thighs for Extra Tenderness: Prefer a richer flavor? Swap chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
💡 Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the slow cooker—chicken can dry out if left too long.
💡 Make It a One-Pot Meal: Add mushrooms or spinach in the last 30 minutes for extra veggies!
💡 Want a Low-Carb Option? Swap pasta for zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
