Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets
- ¼ cup (57 g) butter
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix
- 1 can (10.75 oz / 305 g) condensed golden mushroom soup
- ½ cup (120 ml) chicken broth
- 1 pound (454 g) angel hair pasta
Instructions
- Chicken Placement: Position chicken fillets in a single, even layer at the base of the crockpot, optimizing heat distribution and cooking consistency.
- Sauce Creation: Craft a luxurious sauce by gently melting butter, then whisking together Italian seasoning, golden mushroom soup, chicken broth, and cream cheese until achieving a silky, uniform texture over medium heat.
- Sauce Application: Lavishly coat chicken fillets with the prepared sauce, ensuring complete flavor saturation and moisture retention.
- Slow Cooking Process: Secure crockpot lid and set to low temperature, allowing chicken to slow-cook and tenderize for 4-5 hours until meat reaches 165°F (74°C) and effortlessly shreds with a fork.
- Pasta Preparation and Serving: During the final cooking phase, simultaneously prepare angel hair pasta to al dente perfection. Drain thoroughly, then compose the dish by layering pasta as a foundation, topping with tender chicken, and generously drizzling the rich, creamy sauce from the crockpot.
Notes
- Optimize Chicken Placement: Spread chicken fillets in a single layer to ensure even cooking and prevent uneven texture.
- Sauce Whisking Technique: Melt butter slowly and whisk ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free sauce that coats chicken perfectly.
- Temperature Precision: Use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption and tender results.
- Pasta Timing Matters: Cook pasta just before serving to maintain ideal texture and prevent overcooking or becoming soggy.
