Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Sear the Chicken: Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, chicken broth, and Good Seasons salad dressing mix. Blend until smooth.
  3. Assemble in the Crock Pot: Lightly coat the crock pot with non-stick spray. Layer seared chicken breasts at the bottom and pour creamy sauce evenly over the chicken.
  4. Slow Cook the Dish: Cover the crock pot and set it to low heat, allowing to cook for 3-4 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  5. Cook the Pasta: Prepare angel hair pasta according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve chicken over pasta. Finish with fresh parsley, cracked pepper, and optional grated Parmesan cheese.
