Ingredients
Scale
- Main Components:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pats
- Flavor Builders:
- 1 (1 ounce) packet dry Italian dressing mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Seasonings & Herbs:
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- Garnish & Optional Heat:
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Prep Crockpot: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in your crockpot. This forms the delicious base for your Crockpot Angel Chicken. A quick tip: lightly grease the crockpot for easier cleanup later.
- Whisk Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, low-sodium chicken broth, dry Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth. This creates the flavorful foundation for your creamy sauce.
- Add Creaminess: Pour the whisked sauce over the chicken in the crockpot. Scatter the softened cream cheese cubes and butter pats over the top. No need to stir; the crockpot will work its magic to blend everything.
- Cook Chicken: Cover and cook your Crockpot Angel Chicken on HIGH for 2-3 hours or on LOW for 4-6 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shredded. The sauce will become wonderfully rich and bubbly.
- Shred & Stir: Carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot, stirring it gently into the creamy angel chicken sauce. The chicken will absorb all those amazing flavors.
- Garnish & Serve: Stir in dried parsley flakes and optional red pepper flakes. Garnish your beautiful Crockpot Angel Chicken with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy this comforting meal over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes!
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before adding to prevent a lumpy sauce.
Store leftover Crockpot Angel Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Substitute chicken thighs for breasts for an even richer, more succulent Angel Chicken dish.
Serve this comforting meal warm over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.
Whisk sauce ingredients 1-2 days ahead and refrigerate; assemble and cook just before serving.
