→ Main Components
01 -
1.5-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
8 ounces (1 block) full-fat cream cheese, softened
03 -
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (100%, not "healthy request")
04 -
1 (1 ounce) packet dry Italian dressing mix
05 -
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
06 -
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
→ Flavor Enhancers
07 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
09 -
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
10 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
→ Essential Seasoning & Garnish
11 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
12 -
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
13 -
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until mostly smooth. This forms the creamy base for your delicious Crock Pot Angel Chicken. Ensure ingredients are well combined.
02 -
Now, stir in the dry Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley flakes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the seasonings are fully incorporated into the creamy sauce, creating a rich flavor profile.
03 -
Place the chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker. Next, pour the prepared creamy sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it's completely covered. Dot the top with slices of the remaining butter for extra richness.
04 -
Cover and cook the Crock Pot Angel Chicken on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours. The chicken should be fork-tender and easily shreddable when done. Avoid peeking too often to maintain heat.
05 -
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the creamy sauce until well combined. This ensures every bite is coated.
06 -
Ladle the warm, comforting Crock Pot Angel Chicken onto plates. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to prevent a lumpy sauce.
02 -
Store leftover Angel Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
03 -
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used for an even more tender and flavorful result.
04 -
Serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles; garnish with fresh parsley for color and freshness.
05 -
Prepare the sauce mixture up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook.
