For the Chicken

  • ¾ cup Chicken Broth Enhances flavor; homemade or low-sodium recommended.
  • 1 packet Good Seasons Dry Italian Salad Dressing Mix Imparts an Italian herb blend.
For Cooking

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, adding a drizzle of vegetable oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Remove from skillet.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, chicken broth, and Italian dressing mix. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Lightly spray the crock pot. Place seared chicken in the bottom and pour sauce mixture over, coating well.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Check with a meat thermometer for 165°F internal temperature.
  5. Boil salted water, add angel hair pasta, and cook according to package instructions, typically 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  6. Serve chicken over cooked pasta, ladle sauce over and garnish with parsley, pepper, or cheese if desired.

Notes

Searing the chicken adds rich flavor. Ensure chicken breasts are similar in size for even cooking. Monitor cooking time for tenderness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days; freeze for up to 3 months.
