Creamy Chicken Crockpot (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main chicken needs

01 - 3/4 cup of chicken stock
02 - 1/4 cup soft butter
03 - 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
04 - 3 whole or minced garlic cloves
05 - 4 oz of cream cheese, softened
06 - 10.5 oz canned creamy chicken soup (don’t dilute it)
07 - 0.6 oz packet of dry Italian salad dressing mix (a brand like Good Seasons works)

→ To serve

08 - Cooked angel hair pasta (1 lb), following the package directions

# Instructions:

01 - Spray the inside of your slow cooker with a non-stick spray, or you can use a liner to save cleanup time.
02 - Set the chicken breasts in first, then scatter the garlic cloves on top.
03 - Softened butter and cream cheese go in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until softened, then stir until creamy. Mix in chicken soup, dry Italian mix, and chicken broth until smooth.
04 - Pour the blend over your chicken. Cover the cooker and let it go on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken’s fall-apart tender.
05 - Half an hour before it’s done, pull apart the chicken in the pot using a couple of forks. Let it rest in the sauce while it finishes cooking.
06 - While the chicken finishes, boil your pasta. Drain and plate with chicken and its sauce spooned over the top.

# Notes:

01 - It’s crazy easy to pull this together in barely 5 minutes. Then let the slow cooker do the work!
02 - Not into pasta? Switch it out for white rice, mashed potatoes, or fluffy biscuits to keep it fresh.
03 - Don’t skip the packet of dry Italian seasoning—it gives the dish its signature kick. Skip the liquid bottled kind.
