Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 12 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large chicken breasts)

For the Sauce:

  • 4 ounces (½ block) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup (recommend low or no sodium if sensitive to salt)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup chicken broth (recommend low or no sodium if sensitive to salt)
  • 1 (0.7 ounce) packet Good Seasons Dry Italian Salad Dressing Mix (or your favorite mix)
  • 16 ounce box angel hair pasta
  • Chopped fresh parsley, cracked pepper, and/or grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Chicken: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to the chicken breasts. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together cream cheese, butter, cream of chicken soup, garlic, chicken broth, and Italian dressing mix until smooth.
  3. Assemble in Crock Pot: Spray a crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Place seared chicken in the pot and pour the sauce over the chicken.
  4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the chicken reaches 165°F. For a more tender result, cook longer.

Notes

  • You can use low-sodium or no-sodium-added ingredients to control the salt content of the dish.
  • If the chicken breasts start to fall apart when cooked longer, it adds a shredded chicken texture to the dish.
