4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup butter
1 packet (0.6 oz) dry Italian dressing mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup chicken broth
4 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz angel hair pasta
Optional garnishes:
Chopped fresh parsley
Grated Parmesan cheese
Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with non-stick spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
Add Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the dry Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and softened cream cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is tender.
Prepare the Pasta: About 30 minutes before serving, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir to combine. Serve the creamy chicken mixture over the cooked angel hair pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
