Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Feel free to use thighs for a juicier result.
  • 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil Can be substituted with olive oil for a richer flavor.
  • Salt and pepper To taste
For the Sauce
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened Neufchâtel cheese can make a lighter version.
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 10.5 ounces can cream of chicken soup Ensure it aligns with diet preferences.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Remove for a milder dish if desired.
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet Good Seasons Dry Italian Salad Dressing Mix Can swap for homemade seasoning.
For Serving
  • 16 ounces angel hair pasta Prepare according to package instructions.
  • Chopped fresh parsley Optional garnish.
  • Cracked black pepper Optional garnish.
  • Grated Parmesan cheese Optional garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove from heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with butter, blending until smooth. Add the cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, chicken broth, and Good Seasons Dry Italian salad dressing mix, stirring until well combined.
  3. Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Layer the seared chicken breasts in the bottom of the pot and pour the creamy sauce mixture over the top.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside when done.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, serve the chicken whole or shredded over the angel hair pasta, garnishing with parsley, cracked black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing the sauce and searing chicken the night before. Store separately in the fridge. For leftovers, keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
