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.
