# Instructions:
01 -
Start by softening your cream cheese to room temperature and cutting the butter into pats. Gather all remaining ingredients for the Tender Crock Pot Angel Chicken Easy Recipe. This simple prep ensures a smooth cooking process later on.
02 -
In your 6-quart crock pot, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley flakes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Ensure it's well combined for the best Tender Crock Pot Angel Chicken flavor.
03 -
Gently fold in the softened cream cheese into the whisked sauce until mostly incorporated. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the sauce mixture. This layering helps ensure the chicken remains incredibly tender.

Dot the top of the chicken with the butter pats. Cover and cook on LOW for 60 minutes, or until the chicken is fork-tender and easily shreddable. Avoid overcooking to maintain the desired tenderness for this Tender Crock Pot Angel Chicken Easy Recipe.

Carefully remove the cooked chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the creamy sauce in the pot, stirring gently to fully coat everything. This creates the wonderful texture.
