Description

How to make incredibly tender Crock Pot Angel Chicken using chicken breasts, cream cheese, and Italian dressing mix that’s super easy and perfect for busy family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Components:
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet dry Italian dressing mix
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Flavor Enhancers:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Seasonings:
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • Serving & Garnish:
  • 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked al dente
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Begin by softening your cream cheese and melting the butter. Whisk together the Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, broth, melted butter, and all seasonings in your slow cooker. This forms the flavorful base for our Tender Crock Pot Angel Chicken Easy.
  2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts directly into the slow cooker, ensuring they are well-coated by the creamy sauce mixture. Gently nestle them in the liquid so every piece absorbs the delicious flavors. This is key for tender chicken.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Distribute the softened cream cheese chunks evenly over the chicken and sauce. Do not stir it in yet; let it melt slowly into the sauce during cooking. This ensures a rich, smooth texture for your Tender Crock Pot Angel Chicken Easy.
  4. Cook Chicken: Cover your slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours. The chicken should be fork-tender and easily shreddable. Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture.
  5. Cook Noodles: During the last 20 minutes of cooking, prepare your egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain them well and set aside. This ensures they are fresh and ready for assembly.
  6. Shred & Combine: Remove the cooked chicken and shred it using two forks. Stir the shredded chicken back into the creamy sauce in the slow cooker. Incorporate the cooked egg noodles, gently folding them in for a cohesive dish.
  7. Serve & Garnish: Serve your delicious Tender Crock Pot Angel Chicken Easy immediately, garnished generously with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. A comforting meal perfect for any family dinner.

Notes

Avoid overcooking chicken; stick to suggested times for tender, juicy results. Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth sauce.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Add broth when reheating to maintain moisture.

Chicken thighs can replace breasts for extra moisture, though cooking time may need slight adjustment.

Serve warm over al dente egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley and Parmesan. Pair with a crisp green salad.

Prep sauce ingredients up to 24 hours ahead, storing separately from chicken. Add fresh chicken just before cooking.

Briefly sear chicken breasts before slow cooking to lock in juices and build a richer, deeper flavor.
