Slow Cooker Angel Chicken
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
16 oz angel hair pasta
1/2 cup butter, melted
1.5 oz dry Italian seasoning mix
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
6 oz cream cheese
2 cans (10.75 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
Directions
Place chicken breasts in a greased slow cooker.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, Italian seasoning, white wine, chicken broth, cream cheese, and cream of mushroom soup. Mix until mostly smooth.
Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
Thirty minutes before serving, cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
Add the pasta to the slow cooker, stir to coat evenly in the sauce, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Shred the chicken with two forks for best results. Serve hot.
Nutritional and Dietary Notes
This dish is rich in protein thanks to the chicken, and it’s also satisfying due to the creamy texture of the sauce. The pasta provides comforting carbohydrates. Because of the dairy and canned soup, it’s higher in fat and sodium, so it’s best enjoyed occasionally or balanced with a fresh salad. Not suitable for dairy-free or gluten-free diets unless substitutions are made.
