Ingredients
Scale

- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 4 oz Cream Cheese
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 10.5 oz Cream of Chicken Soup
- 3 cloves Garlic (Minced)

- Chopped Fresh Parsley (Optional)

Instructions
- Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season 1.5 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the hot skillet. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once seared, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 oz of cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and a 10.5 oz can of cream of chicken soup until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Next, incorporate ¾ cup of chicken broth and 3 minced garlic cloves. Finally, stir in one packet of Good Seasons Dry Italian Salad Dressing Mix.
- Coat the interior of your slow cooker with non-stick spray. Layer the seared chicken in the crock pot, then pour the prepared creamy sauce mixture over the chicken.
- Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for 3-4 hours. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- When your chicken is nearly done, prepare 16 oz of angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Cook the pasta until al dente, typically around 4-6 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
- Plate the tender chicken over the pasta, generously drenching it with the sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and cracked pepper to taste, and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
