5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Angel Chicken

This ultra-easy Slow Cooker Angel Chicken is a true “dump-and-go” classic that transforms a handful of everyday ingredients into a rich, creamy comfort meal. The magic comes from the dry Italian dressing mix, which delivers layers of herbs and savory flavor without measuring a single spice. As it cooks, the cream cheese melts into the sauce, creating a smooth, indulgent texture that’s family-friendly and perfect spooned over pasta or rice.

Ingredients

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs — 2 lbs
Cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes — 1 (8 oz) package
Condensed cream of chicken soup — 1 (10½ oz) can
Chicken broth or water — ½ cup
Dry Italian dressing seasoning — 1 (0.7–1 oz) packet

Instructions

Step 1: Add the Chicken
Place the chicken into a 4–6 quart slow cooker, arranging it evenly across the bottom.

Step 2: Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and broth (or water) until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble
Distribute the cream cheese cubes over the chicken. Pour the sauce mixture over everything, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.

Step 4: Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on Low for 4–6 hours or High for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is very tender.

Step 5: Shred and Stir
Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir thoroughly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy.

Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the dish sit on the Warm setting for 5–10 minutes to thicken slightly and blend flavors. Serve warm and enjoy.
