Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet Italian dressing seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional; use extra broth if you prefer)
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional but adds lovely depth)
- 1 lb angel hair pasta or egg noodles
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. You can leave them whole or cut them in half for quicker cooking.
- Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, Italian dressing mix, chicken broth, and white wine (if using). Whisk until smooth.
- Add Sauce to the Crockpot: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece is covered.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Prepare the Pasta: About 20 minutes before serving, cook the angel hair pasta or egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Serve: Shred or slice the chicken if desired, then serve over a bed of pasta. Spoon extra sauce over the top and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Adjust Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add a splash more broth or milk.
- Add-Ins for Extra Flavor: Try adding fresh spinach during the last hour of cooking for some greens, or sprinkle in Parmesan for a richer finish.
- Wine Substitute: If you’d rather skip the wine, just replace it with more chicken broth.
