Directions

Cooking Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, chicken broth, and dry Italian dressing mix. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.

Lightly coat the inside of your crock pot with non-stick spray. Layer the seared chicken at the bottom, then pour the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.

Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Just before serving, cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Drain well and either toss the pasta with the sauce or serve it on the side.

Serve the chicken whole or shredded over the pasta, garnished with optional parsley, cracked pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Way too dry. Add like 2 cups of chicken broth
