Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs): The star of the dish, chicken breasts provide a lean source of protein while absorbing the flavors of the sauce throughout the cooking process.
  • ¼ cup butter: This adds richness and depth complementing the creamy sauce that the chicken will simmer in.
  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix: This flavor-packed mix infuses the dish with zesty Italian herbs creating a savory base.
  • 1 can 10.75 oz condensed golden mushroom soup: The soup acts as the cooking liquid, bringing creaminess and umami flavor in a hassle-free manner.
  • ½ cup chicken broth: To thin out the soup while enhancing the chicken's flavor chicken broth is essential, providing additional moisture to the dish.
  • 4 oz cream cheese: Added towards the end of cooking cream cheese contributes to a luxurious creaminess that coats every bite of chicken.
  • 1 lb angel hair pasta: The perfect canvas for the luscious chicken sauce angel hair pasta cooks quickly and complements the dish's creamy profile.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) at the bottom of your slow cooker. Ensure they are evenly spread out for optimal cooking.
  2. Add Butter: Cut ¼ cup butter into small pieces and distribute them on top of the chicken breasts. This will melt and soak into the chicken during cooking.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine 1 packet of Italian dressing mix, 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed golden mushroom soup, and ½ cup chicken broth. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Pour Over Chicken: Carefully pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well covered.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  6. Add Cream Cheese: About 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve, add 4 oz cream cheese (cut into cubes) to the crockpot and stir well until melted and combined.
  7. Cook the Pasta: In the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, prepare 1 lb angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  8. Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked and the cream cheese has melted, serve the chicken mixture over the pasta, spooning extra sauce over the top for added flavor.
