Ingredients
Main ingredients

- 1 packet Italian dressing mix Good Seasons or Hidden Valley for a robust flavor.
- 1 can cream of chicken soup Opt for a low-sodium variety if you’re watching salt intake.
- 1 cup chicken broth Homemade is ideal, but store-bought works perfectly too. Use low-sodium versions for better control.
- 8 ounces cream cheese Make sure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta It cooks quickly and soaks up the sauce beautifully.
- Salt and pepper To taste; freshly cracked pepper adds a lovely kick.
- Parsley For garnish, adds a pop of color and freshness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker flat and spaced for even cooking.
- In a bowl, combine the Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until well combined, then pour evenly over the chicken.
- Cut the cream cheese into chunks and scatter them on top of the sauce mixture.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender, checking for doneness with a meat thermometer.
- Once done, shred the chicken in the sauce using two forks.
- Prepare the angel hair pasta according to package instructions.
- Serve the shredded chicken mixture over the pasta, garnished with parsley.
Notes
For best flavor, let the ingredients marinate overnight in the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
