Crockpot Angel Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese (softened)
-
1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of chicken soup
-
1 packet of ranch seasoning mix (dry)
-
1/2 cup of chicken broth (or more if needed)
-
1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional, for searing the chicken)
-
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Chicken:
-
If you want, you can sear the chicken breasts in a pan with a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side to lock in some flavor, but this step is optional. You can also add the chicken directly to the crockpot without searing.

-
Prepare the Sauce:
-
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, and chicken broth. Mix until smooth and well-combined.

-
Assemble in the Crockpot:
-
Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of the crockpot.
-
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken, making sure to cover it evenly.
-
-
Cook:
-
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
-
-
Serve:
-
Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it into the sauce.
-
You can serve this dish over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
-
Tips:
-
For extra flavor: Add a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, or freshly chopped garlic to the sauce mixture.
-
Optional vegetables: You can add some sliced mushrooms or chopped onions to the crockpot for extra flavor.
-
Thickening the sauce: If the sauce is too thin for your liking, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
