Ingredients
For the Chicken:

1/4 cup butter
1 packet dry Italian salad dressing mix
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine (or substitute with additional chicken broth)

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
For Serving:
Cooked pasta or rice
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Construction (How to Make Crockpot Angel Chicken)
Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot.
Make the Sauce Base
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the Italian dressing mix, chicken broth, and white wine.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add to Crockpot
Pour the buttery broth mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Add the Creamy Ingredients
About 30 minutes before serving, add the softened cream cheese and condensed cream of mushroom soup to the crockpot.
Stir gently to mix everything together, then let it warm through.
Serve & Enjoy!
Spoon the chicken and creamy sauce over cooked pasta or rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley for extra flavor and color.
Variations
Garlic Parmesan Angel Chicken – Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese for a richer flavor.
Mushroom Lover’s Angel Chicken – Sauté sliced mushrooms and mix them into the sauce before adding to the crockpot.
Spicy Kick – Stir in 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Bacon & Ranch Twist – Swap Italian dressing mix for ranch seasoning, and top with crispy bacon bits before serving.
Gluten-Free Option – Use gluten-free cream of mushroom soup and serve over mashed potatoes instead of pasta.
Tips & Tricks
✔ Use Chicken Thighs for Extra Juiciness – They stay tender and flavorful longer than chicken breasts.
✔ Don’t Overcook the Chicken – Check for doneness at 4 hours to prevent dryness.
✔ For a Thicker Sauce – Add 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water if you prefer a thicker gravy.
✔ Make-Ahead Friendly – Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
