Instructions

Prepare the sauce mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, cream of chicken soup, dry Italian dressing mix, chicken broth, and minced garlic. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create a creamy sauce base.
Arrange chicken in slow cooker: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts evenly in the slow cooker. Make sure they are spread out to allow even cooking.
Pour sauce over chicken: Pour the prepared creamy sauce mixture over the chicken breasts. Use a spoon or spatula to ensure the chicken is fully coated with the sauce for maximum flavor infusion.
Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 to 7 hours or on the high setting for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be fully cooked and tender once done.
Shred or slice chicken: Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the chicken or slice it as preferred.
Serve: Spoon the shredded or sliced chicken back into the sauce in the slow cooker to combine flavors, then serve warm over cooked angel hair pasta.

Notes

For even richer flavor, let the chicken soak in the sauce for 10-15 minutes after shredding before serving.
If you prefer less sauce, reduce the chicken broth to ¼ cup.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
You can substitute Italian dressing mix with homemade herbs and spices such as oregano, basil, and garlic powder if desired.
This recipe is great for meal prep; the slow cooker can be timed to finish when you get home.
