This dish isn’t pretty, but it tastes great. My Mom has been after me for ages to make this recipe. She loves it.The only problem that I had with the recipe was that it used Golden Mushroom Soup.I am not a big fan of mushrooms. I can handle the specks that are in a can of Cream of Mushroom, but I still pick out any big chunks. It’s the “plain chicken” in me.I decided to finally give this a try and swap the Golden Mushrooom Soup for Cream of Chicken. It turned out great.
How to Make Slow Cooker Angel Chicken
This chicken is very flavorful and a breeze to make.Place some chicken in a crockpot. Mix together Italian dressing mix, cream cheese, butter, soup, and broth. Pour over the chicken and cook. Boil some water for the pasta when you get home from work and voila!Dinner in 10 minutes!
- I used boneless chicken breasts. Feel free to use chicken tenders, thighs or breasts.
- I used a packet of Good Seasonings Italian Dressing Mix. DO NOT make the dressing. Just use the seasoning.
- Can use any cream of soup you prefer – cream of mushroom, cream of celery, cream of broccoli would all be great. You can also use Golden Mushroom Soup.
- 98% Fat Free and Healthy Request soups work great in this dish.
- Feel free to throw in some frozen broccoli or spinach into the crockpot with the chicken.
- If you are having trouble getting the cream cheese incorporated into the sauce, try heating the Italian dressing mix, cream cheese, butter, soup, and broth on the stove before adding it to the crockpot.
- Feel free to shred the chicken with 2 forks after cooking. This is a great way to stretch the recipe to serve more people.
