What is Crockpot Angel Chicken?

Crockpot Angel Chicken is a slow cooker favorite made with boneless chicken breasts (or thighs) and a creamy sauce created from condensed cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, Italian or ranch dressing mix, and optional white wine. The result is a savory, melt-in-your-mouth dish that pairs beautifully with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix (or ranch mix)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional; can substitute with extra broth)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz angel hair pasta, cooked

Optional Garnishes:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, chicken broth, dressing mix, white wine (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Assemble in the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
  3. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 2–3 hours until the chicken is tender.
  4. Prepare Pasta: Cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  5. Finish and Serve: Shred the chicken if desired, stir the sauce well, and serve the chicken and sauce over pasta. Garnish with parsley or Parmesan if you like.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use fresh, quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Add veggies like spinach or mushrooms during the last hour of cooking for a complete one-pot meal.
  • Avoid overcooking by checking for doneness early, especially with chicken breasts.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve over: angel hair pasta, egg noodles, rice, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread.
  • Sides: Pair with steamed vegetables, green salad, or garlic bread.
  • Garnishes: Sprinkle with parsley, Parmesan, or green onions for a finishing touch.

Storage and Reheating

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
  • Freeze: Freeze cooled chicken and sauce for up to 2–3 months.
  • Reheat: Microwave in 30-second intervals or warm on the stovetop with a splash of broth.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken? Yes, but thaw fully before cooking for even results.

Can I make this ahead? Absolutely. Assemble in the crock and refrigerate overnight, then cook as directed.

Can I substitute the soup? Try cream of mushroom or celery for a different flavor.

Is it gluten-free? Use gluten-free versions of soup and dressing mix to make it GF.

Can I add vegetables? Yes! Add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra nutrition.

Conclusion

Crockpot Angel Chicken is creamy, comforting, and incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re feeding a family or prepping meals for the week, this dish is sure to satisfy. Serve it over your favorite starch and enjoy a home-cooked classic with minimal effort!
