Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
• 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
• 1 can condensed golden mushroom soup
• 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
• Cooked angel hair pasta, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Arrange the chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a single layer on the bottom of your slow cooker, spacing them evenly so they cook consistently.

2. Add the butter and seasoning

Place the stick of butter on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the meat to distribute its savory herbs and seasonings.

3. Add the creamy ingredients

Spoon the condensed golden mushroom soup over the chicken and butter. Scatter the cream cheese cubes across the top, spreading them out as evenly as possible.

4. Cook until tender

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

5. Prepare the sauce

Once the chicken is cooked, stir the sauce thoroughly until the melted butter, softened cream cheese, and mushroom soup blend into a smooth, creamy gravy. Shred the chicken with two forks or slice it into bite-sized pieces, then stir it back into the sauce.

6. Serve over pasta

Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions and drain well. Spoon the creamy chicken and sauce generously over the hot pasta and serve immediately for a warm, comforting dinner.
