Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Juicy and tender, perfect for absorbing the creamy sauce.
For the Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil Ideal for searing the chicken, but can be omitted.
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese Adds creaminess; can substitute for dairy-free options.
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter Delivers a luxurious taste; olive oil can be used as an alternative.
  • 10.5 oz Cream of Chicken Soup Savory base; consider low-sodium options.
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced Infuses flavor; garlic powder can work as a substitute.
  • ¾ cup Chicken Broth Essential for moisture; low-sodium variety is wise.
  • 1 packet Italian Salad Dressing Mix Provides quintessential Italian flavors; homemade is a great swap.
For Serving
  • 16 oz Angel Hair Pasta Pairs beautifully with the sauce; any pasta shape works.
  • Optional Garnishes: Fresh parsley, cracked pepper, grated Parmesan cheese Elevate your dish for a finishing touch.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Sear the Chicken - Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes each side until golden brown.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Sauce - In a bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, and chicken broth. Add Italian dressing mix, whisk until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Assemble in the Crock Pot - Spray the crock pot with non-stick spray. Place seared chicken in the pot and pour the sauce over, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
  4. Step 4: Slow Cook for Perfection - Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, ensuring the chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
  5. Step 5: Cook the Pasta - About 15 minutes before serving, cook angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Garnish - Serve the chicken whole or shredded over pasta, garnished with fresh parsley, cracked pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
