1–2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 (0.7 ounce) packet Italian dressing mix
16 ounce box angel hair pasta
Chopped fresh parsley, cracked pepper, grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sear 2-3 minutes per side; remove from heat.
3. Whisk together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
4. Add cream of chicken soup, garlic, chicken broth, and Italian dressing mix; whisk to combine.
5. Spray crock pot with non-stick spray; place chicken in the bottom.
6. Pour sauce over chicken and cook on low for 3-4 hours until chicken reaches 165°F.
7. Cook angel hair pasta according to package instructions before serving.
8. Serve chicken whole or shredded over pasta; top with parsley, pepper, or Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Check internal temperature of chicken to ensure proper cooking.
Cooking longer will make chicken very tender; shredding is optional.
Use low-sodium soup and broth for lower salt content.
Leftovers can be stored and reheated for later meals.
