How to Make Angel Chicken with Italian Dressing Mix
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a slow cooker. There’s no need to brown them first—this is a true set-it-and-forget-it recipe.
Step 2: Add the Sauce Ingredients
Sprinkle the Italian dressing mix evenly over the chicken. Add the cream cheese (cut into chunks), butter, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth on top.
Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook:
-
Low: 6–7 hours
-
High: 3–4 hours
As it cooks, the cream cheese and butter melt into the broth and soup, forming a creamy, well-seasoned sauce.
Step 4: Stir and Shred (Optional)
Once the chicken is fully cooked, stir the sauce until smooth. You can leave the chicken whole or shred it directly in the slow cooker for a more casserole-style dish.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the Angel Chicken over cooked angel hair pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Spoon plenty of sauce over the top—it’s the star of the dish.
Helpful Tips for Best Results

Don’t skip the broth—it keeps the sauce from becoming too thick.
