# Instructions:

Pat dry 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. This initial seasoning is key for a truly delicious Crock Pot Angel Chicken Recipe: Easy & Delicious. Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the bottom of your slow cooker.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese (softened), 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1 (0.6 oz) packet dry Italian dressing mix, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1 tbsp dried parsley flakes. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
03 -
Evenly pour the prepared creamy sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Ensure the chicken is mostly covered by the sauce. This forms the rich, angelic base for your Crock Pot Angel Chicken Recipe: Easy & Delicious.
04 -
Drizzle 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted, over the top of the sauce and chicken. The butter will melt into the sauce as it cooks, adding an extra layer of richness and flavor to this easy Crock Pot Angel Chicken Recipe.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker.

For an even richer sauce, you can brown the chicken breasts lightly in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker, though it's not strictly necessary for this easy recipe.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer dark meat. You can also use a different flavor of dry dressing mix, like ranch, for a different twist.
