Description
Come home to fork tender chicken simmered in a creamy sauce made with cream cheese, white wine, and herbs served over a bed of angel hair pasta.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (3–4 large chicken breasts)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tbs butter
- 1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup white wine (pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
- 1 Tbs Italian seasoning*
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 10 oz angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
- chives *optional
- red pepper flakes *optional
Instructions
- Add 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts to the bowl of a slow cooker or an Instant Pot with a slow cooker setting.
- In a medium bowl combine 8 oz cream cheese, 2 Tbs butter, 1 10 oz can of cream of mushroom soup, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup white wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 Tbs Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp granulated garlic, and 1/2 tsp salt and mix together with a spatula or a hand mixer until fully combined and mostly smooth. It might have some lumps and that’s totally okay.
- Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken and cover the slow cooker with the lid.
- Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. If using an Instant Pot, use the slow cooker setting.
- Once the cooking is done, take off the lid and using a fork, tongs or spatula, stir the sauce and break up the chicken into chunks.
- Cook the pasta according to its package directions.
- Serve the chicken and sauce over the pasta and garnish with red pepper flakes or minced chives.
Notes
We’re using Italian seasoning, not Italian Salad Dressing Mix. Italian seasoning can be found with other spices and typically includes some combination of dried basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
