Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets
Dairy and Creamy Components:
- ¼ cup (57 grams) butter
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese
Flavor Enhancers and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix
- 1 can (10.75 ounces / 305 grams) condensed golden mushroom soup
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1 pound (454 grams) angel hair pasta
Instructions
- Arrange the chicken fillets in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot, ensuring they are spread out for uniform cooking.
- Create a luscious sauce by melting butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat (around 350°F/175°C). Whisk together the Italian seasoning mix, golden mushroom soup, chicken broth (/430 milliliters), and cream cheese until the mixture transforms into a velvety, homogeneous sauce.
- Carefully drench the chicken fillets with the prepared sauce, making certain each piece is thoroughly coated to maximize flavor infusion.
- Cover the crockpot and set to low temperature. Allow the chicken to simmer and tenderize for 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat can be easily shredded with a fork.
- Approximately 20 minutes before the chicken completes cooking, prepare the angel hair pasta according to package directions. Use of pasta, cooking until al dente.
- Drain the pasta thoroughly, removing excess water to prevent diluting the creamy sauce.
- Plate the meal by creating a bed of angel hair pasta, topping it with a succulent chicken fillet, and generously drizzling the rich, creamy sauce from the crockpot over the entire dish.
