Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup dry white wine (or use extra broth if preferred)
- 1 (0.7 oz) packet Italian dressing mix
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 lb angel hair pasta, cooked just before serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Make the Sauce
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, white wine, Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
2. Add Chicken to Crockpot
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour the creamy sauce over the top, making sure each piece is well coated.
3. Cook Low and Slow
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours
or - Cook on HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender and fully cooked through.
4. Serve It Up
- Cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions just before serving.
- Remove the chicken and shred or leave whole, as preferred.
- Spoon the luscious sauce over the hot pasta, then top with the chicken.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch (optional but lovely!).
Optional: Thicken the Sauce
Want a thicker, clingier sauce?
After removing the chicken, set your slow cooker to HIGH and leave the sauce uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your liking.
Recipe Notes & Tips
- Make it kid-friendly by using all chicken broth (no wine).
- Pasta swap? Try egg noodles or fettuccine instead of angel hair.
- Add veggies like spinach or mushrooms during the last hour of cooking for a heartier dish.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or broth to keep it creamy!
