Ingredients for Angel Chicken

  • Fresh Mushrooms
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Salad Dressing Mix
  • Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth

How to Make Angel Chicken

  1. Place 1 lb cremini mushrooms in a 4-quart slow cooker.
  2. Top with 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 lbs).
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  4. Stir in 1 packet (1 ounce) Italian dressing mix, 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed golden mushroom soup, 1 cup chicken broth, and 4 ounces cream cheese until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and mushrooms in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover and cook on high for 4 1/2 hours, or on low for 8 hours.
  7. If the sauce is too thin, whisk together 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
  8. Add the cornstarch slurry to the slow cooker and simmer for a few minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
  9. Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked rice or pasta.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
