Instructions
Preparation
- Place the chicken breasts in the Crock Pot in a single layer for even cooking. For thick breasts, consider slicing horizontally or gently pounding.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and softened cream cheese until well combined. For a smoother sauce, blend or whisk until creamy.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken in the Crock Pot, ensuring it is well coated.
Cooking
- Cook on low for 6–8 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature at 165°F). For quicker cooking, use high for 3–4 hours.
Pasta Preparation
- About 30 minutes before serving, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Final Steps
- Once chicken is done, shred it in the Crock Pot and stir to combine with the sauce. Adjust thickness with a splash of water or broth if necessary.
- Serve the chicken and sauce over the cooked angel hair pasta. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days. For freezing, portion out shredded chicken and sauce separately from pasta to avoid sogginess.
