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
Scale
- 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.Β Italian seasoning can be found with other spices and typically includes some combination of dried basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
