Crockpot Angel Chicken

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it is incredibly easy and dependable. I like being able to mix everything quickly, let the crockpot do the work, and come back to perfectly tender chicken. I also enjoy how versatile it is, since I can serve it over rice, pasta, or even mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 6 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 oz)

• 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup

• 1 cup cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon garlic powder

• Salt, to taste

• Pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, optional, for garnish

Directions

I start by mixing the ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, chicken broth, and garlic powder in a bowl until smooth.

I season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them into the crockpot.

I pour the creamy mixture over the chicken, making sure everything is well coated.

I cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

About 30 minutes before serving, I sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, cover again, and let it melt.

Once ready, I use two forks to gently shred the chicken and mix it into the sauce.

I serve it hot and garnish with fresh parsley if I want a little color.

Servings and Timing

I get 4 servings from this recipe.
I spend about 15 minutes prepping and around 6 hours cooking on low, for a total time of roughly 6 hours and 15 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add sliced mushrooms or spinach during the last hour of cooking for extra texture. I also like swapping mozzarella for parmesan or using reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter version. When I want extra flavor, I add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to keep the sauce smooth.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

I often use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and they turn out just as tender and flavorful.

Do I need to shred the chicken?

I like shredding it slightly so it mixes into the sauce, but I can also leave the breasts whole if I prefer.

Can I cook this on high instead of low?

I can cook it on high for about 3 to 4 hours, but I find the texture best when cooked low and slow.

What should I serve with Angel Chicken?

I usually serve it over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.

Can I freeze this dish?

I freeze it in an airtight container for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight and reheat gently.

Conclusion

I enjoy making Crockpot Angel Chicken because it is comforting, simple, and always a hit. The creamy sauce and tender chicken make it a reliable recipe that I turn to whenever I want an easy, satisfying meal.
