Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) butter
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix
- 1 can (10.75 ounces or 305 grams) condensed golden mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) chicken broth
Pasta:
- 1 pound (454 grams) angel hair pasta
Instructions
- Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer at the base of the crockpot, ensuring even placement.
- Create a velvety sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then incorporating Italian dressing mix, golden mushroom soup, chicken broth, and cream cheese, whisking until the mixture transforms into a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Cascade the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken, coating each piece thoroughly.
- Secure the crockpot lid and allow the dish to simmer on low temperature for 4-5 hours, until chicken reaches optimal tenderness and is completely cooked through.
- During the final 15 minutes of cooking, prepare angel hair pasta in a separate pot according to package guidelines, ensuring precise al dente texture.
- Carefully drain the pasta, removing excess water to prevent dilution of the rich sauce.
- Plate the pasta as a delicate foundation, then gently place the succulent chicken on top, generously drizzling the remaining creamy sauce over the entire dish.
Notes
- Swap golden mushroom soup with cream of mushroom for a lighter flavor profile.
- Use gluten-free pasta and dressing mix to make this recipe celiac-friendly.
- Enhance protein content by adding sliced mushrooms or spinach directly into the crockpot for extra nutrition.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt and use skinless chicken breasts.
