Description

This Crock Pot Angel Chicken recipe is a comforting, creamy, and flavorful slow-cooked chicken dish made with boneless skinless chicken breasts, Italian dressing mix, garlic, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, and butter. It is perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or a hearty meal that requires minimal preparation and delivers tender, shreddable chicken infused with rich flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix (1 oz)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare crock pot: Clean your crock pot thoroughly to ensure it is ready for cooking.
  2. Place chicken: Put the chicken breasts evenly spaced at the bottom of the crock pot.
  3. Add Italian dressing mix: Sprinkle the Italian dressing mix generously over the chicken to add flavor.
  4. Make sauce and pour: In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, and melted butter until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crock pot.
  5. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken and sauce mixture.
  6. Cook: Cover the crock pot with its lid. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  7. Shred and mix: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot. Stir the shredded chicken to mix it well with the sauce and cheese before serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the cooking time based on your schedule — low and slow results in more tender chicken.
  • Shredded chicken can be served over rice, pasta, or with a side of vegetables.
  • For a thicker sauce, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  • Feel free to substitute sharp cheddar with your favorite cheese.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
