This was gone in a flash whenever my mom whipped it up on those crazy evenings.

Angel chicken is a delightful dish that's perfect for those cozy family dinners or when you want to impress your guests with minimal effort. Originating from the classic combination of creamy sauces and tender chicken, this slow-cooked version ensures that the flavors meld beautifully over time, resulting in a rich and indulgent meal. It's a dish that brings warmth to the table, making it ideal for those chilly Midwestern evenings. Plus, the slow cooker does most of the work, leaving you free to spend more time with your loved ones.

This creamy angel chicken pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad to balance out the richness. You might also consider serving it over a bed of fluffy white rice or alongside some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For a special touch, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top before serving.

Servings: 6

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet (1 ounce) dry Italian salad dressing mix
1/4 cup butter
1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed golden mushroom soup
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 pound angel hair pasta, cooked

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Stir in the Italian dressing mix, mushroom soup, and white wine or chicken broth until well combined.

Add the softened cream cheese to the saucepan, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Before serving, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions.

Serve the chicken and sauce over the cooked pasta.

For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese and low-sodium chicken broth. If you have picky eaters, consider adding some sliced mushrooms or spinach to the slow cooker for extra nutrition. You can also swap the angel hair pasta for whole wheat pasta or zucchini noodles for a healthier twist. For a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
