Description
A creamy, comforting dish featuring tender chicken cooked in a slow cooker served over pasta, perfect for busy days.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 pounds Boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs) (Thighs stay juicy and are more forgiving to cook.)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (Softened for better melting.)
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup (Can substitute with cream of mushroom if preferred.)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (Can replace with oregano, basil, and thyme.)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Fresh or powdered as per preference.)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (Placed on top of the chicken.)
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth (Used to loosen the sauce.)
- 8 ounces Angel hair pasta (Cooked fresh before serving.)
- to taste Salt and pepper (Essential for seasoning.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Lightly grease your slow cooker insert if you remember.
- Add the chicken in an even layer.
- In a bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, broth, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken.
- Add butter on top, then add cubed cream cheese.
- Cover and cook until the chicken is tender.
- Shred or slice the chicken, then stir everything to make the sauce smooth and creamy.
- Serve over angel hair pasta.
Notes
Avoid cooking the pasta in the slow cooker; it turns gummy. Stir well at the end for a creamy sauce.
