If you’ve never heard of or had Slow Cooker Angel Chicken, you’re in good company! Until last week we fit into that category. Once we had our first bite, though, we were hooked. My husband kept saying “Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. You have GOT to get this recipe.”
So I called up Gricelda, who is not a Disney Princess although her name leads you to believe that, and asked if she would share. She had been kind enough to cook this wonderful supper for my family and she immediately said “Of course I’ll share!”. Maybe she should be a Disney Princess, she definitely has the personality for it!
I was thrilled to discover that Gricelda cooks this in a slow cooker AND and it easily makes enough for a hungry family!
Let’s get cookin’!
You’ll need: butter, Italian Dressing Mix (brand of your choice), Chicken Broth, Golden Mushroom Soup, Cream Cheese, Chicken, and Angel Hair Pasta.
*A word about the sauce. Gricelda doubles the sauce in her angel chicken so there is plenty to serve atop the pasta, kind of like you do with spaghetti. We LOVED it exactly how she made it so I am bringing you her recipe with double the sauce.
Keep in mind this serves 4-6 people
Just grab whatever brand Italian dressing mix you see first or is least expensive. I usually get Good Seasons brand.
Place chicken in bottom of 5 or 6 quart slow cooker.
This could fit in a 4 quart if that is all ya have.
Mix butter, italian dressing mix, broth, soup, and cream cheese in a sauce pot on top of stove.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and well mixed.
Pour sauce over. Cook on low for 6 -7 hours.
Cook Angel Hair Pasta according to package directions; drain.
There are two ways to serve this so it just depends on your personal preference.
I like family style.
To serve family style : Place drained pasta in bottom of 9×13 pan. Place chicken atop. Spoon sauce over.
For individual servings: Place pasta on plate. Top with Chicken. Spoon sauce over.
Enjoy our new family favorite!

Looks great! I’ll have to try it over the weekend. Hope you’re doing well, Christy! You’re in my prayers.
For serving, I’d shred the chicken and just stir it all up in my crockpot.
Oh…good idea…I think that’s what I’m going to do
thanks Jennifer !
This is going to be so good. However, since I’m allergic to mushrooms, I’m going to use cream of chicken soup!
I was about to post this exact thing! I am also allergic to Mushrooms and was thinking.. well I’ll just use Cream of Chicken!
So was I! Thanks Deanna.
We like this recipe too. It’s very rich, but so good. I usually end up shredding up my chicken in the sauce when I cook it in the crock pot because its so tender. I think this one made the rounds on a message board I’m on as “Italian Cream Cheese Chicken”. Yummy!
Beef has gotten very costly here but chicken has remained reasonable and often goes on sale. We have been eating a lot of chicken so I look for easy new ways to prepare it. Thanks to your friend for sharing it with all of us.
have noticed that too! My family is going to kill me if I make one more chicken dish but when I can typically get some cut of chicken $1/lb then the will eat it. The sticky chicken is one thing my family never tires of. We will see if this one can be added to the list!
Yes, beef has become very expensive here, too. Yes love the taste of Italian seasoning, new to pair it up w/ the cream of ‘s soups and cream cheese, can’t wait to make room for the crockpot on the counter.
I make this and we loveeeeee it! We use fresh mushrooms and chives in ours as well!! Yummmm. Hope your feeling up to tip top shape soon!
This looks amazing.
We love this at my house! We also add button mushrooms to the crockpot when cooking, it’s delish! You’re spirit is so uplifting and positive, I hope you’re body heals quickly!
This looks amazing. Love crockpot meals! I am also going to use cream of chicken soup since I’m not a fan of mushrooms. Sending my get we’ll wishes to you Christy & God Bless!
I bet cream of celery would also be very good in this, or a combination of cream of celery and cream of onion.
This looks really good. We will give it a try this next week. I also love that red serving dish. I hope you are doing better. You are in my prayers for quick healing!
I make this exact recipe all the time! I love it!!
Is it Angel chicken because its so heavenly??? It looks delicious, can’t wait to test it out :-). Hope you’re feeling better
This looks delish. But I’m wondering if I can make it with Thighs or legs. We can get them incredlbly cheap and I think breasts can be a little dry.
I’ve made this recipe with the cream cheese in the tub with chives/onion. Also, the golden mushroom soup gives a great flavor and I don’t know if it actually has any mushroom pieces in it. If you substitute you might want to add some sherry or wine to enhance the flavor.
I am adding this to my next menu! looks easy and delicious! Gricelda~You are a sweet lady to make this for our friend when she is down. Thank you for sharing!
Just saved this one to my recipe folder. It’s a keeper! Look forward to your posts, Christy. Thank you!
I already have chicken out for dinner and now I know exactly how I am going to cook it. Thanks so much for this delicious sounding recipe.
I have been praying for your recovery Christy!
I can’t wait to hear what you think Bev!!
This looks delicious. Anything with cream cheese has to be delicious! I know what I’m making for dinner tonight.
I just know you will love it Jennifer!!
So glad you have so many friends close to take care of you! I know we ALL wish we were close enough to help out!
Thank you Susan!!
Thanks for the recipe. I hope that you’re on the mend. Don’t hate Moe, look at all this love he brought you! Seriously, I send my prayers to you for God’s healing touch.
Oh I don’t hate him. I’ve dealt with people far more ornery than that horse 🙂
My son want eat cream cheese can i leave it out are used some thing else thank you
Since I have been told to go gluen free due to IBS issues – I think I’ll try this over rice. Sounds Yummy! Hope your back on your feet soon!
you might want to check the labels esp. on the soup for wheat it is everywhere.
Do you need to brown the chicken in a skillet before putting in crock pot?
Nope. Toss it in!
And to cook this in a slow oven? What do you suggest?
Cooking as I type!! Sounded so good I had to make it tonight. I only used one can of the golden mushroom soup and only one package of the Italian dressing….oh and I used the Chive and Onion cream cheese! I cut back because are only three of us. The sauce tastes fantastic!! Thank you for the dinner idea Christy! Hope your back to dancing and running track soon 😉
I hope you enjoy it Dorie!!!
SOUNDS DIVINE!!!! Can’t wait to get to the store to get the ingredients. I was so happy to see you put broth as a choice as I never cook with spirits I always either substitute a broth or fruit juice according to what I am cooking. Thank you to your friend for sharing. HOPE YOU ARE ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY!!!!
I hope you enjoy it Marsha!! I am on the mend, just going to take a bit.
What can you do to keep the spaghetti from sticking together?
My grandmother always put a tablespoon of oil in the boiling water 🙂
I put a capful of olive oil in mine
Add spaghetti to rapidly boiling water and stir to separate the strands as the water returns to a boil. Once separate, they should stay separate.
this looks so good i want to make it tonight! i wonder if you can do it fast without the crockpot
I have a ton of chicken begging to be cooked, so we will be having this for dinner soon! I laughed once I saw Stacey photographed this post for you, simply because of the name brand pasta, and soup, and chicken stock…well all of the name brand stuff really. I thought “Hm, Christy must have found a sale recently”! I read his blog as well, and love him to death just like you. So once I read that, it all made sense.
LOL, you know me too well!! I was actually laughing when I saw all of the ingredients.
OMG, I just bought me some chicken tenders that are in the freezer & have the rest of the ingredients already on hand!!!! Definitely trying this. Thanks to you & your friend & keep on a blogging!!!!
I hope you enjoy it Tamela!!
I hope you are healing perfectly ! I am so sorry to hear of your injuries. I know you have some really loving people around you to help. You are blessed.
Thank you Sharon, I am blessed indeed!!
This one sounds really yummy! I have a crockpot chicken stroganoff recipe that is very similar to this one. It’s delish!
Thank you for posting this!
Blessings,
Tami Owens
I hope you enjoy Tami!!!
