Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped or left whole Crushed gives a stronger flavor.
  • 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock Use low-sodium if preferred.
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 0.6 ounces Italian dressing mix Good Seasons or similar.
  • 1 pound angel hair pasta

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spray the inside of the crockpot with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in an even layer in the bottom of the crock. Add the garlic around and on top of the chicken.
Make the Sauce
  1. Soften the butter and cream cheese in short bursts in the microwave until easily mashable.
  2. Whisk the butter and cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Whisk in the cream of chicken soup (do not dilute it) until fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in the Italian dressing mix and chicken stock, whisking until the sauce is homogeneous.
Slow-Cook
  1. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are coated.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours (or on HIGH for about 3 to 4 hours).
  3. Optional: about 30 minutes before cooking is done, shred the chicken with two forks right in the sauce.
Serve
  1. Just before the chicken is done, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  2. Serve the shredded or whole chicken spooned over the angel hair, spooning extra sauce on top.
