I was so excited when Candace emailed me this recipe!! It is right up my alley...slow cooker, easy, no browning required, ready just minutes after you get home from a busy day. Perfection! Thanks Candace!
Shopping List
4-6 chicken breasts (frozen or thawed...see below for cooking times)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
4 oz Onion and Chive Cream Cheese (it's right there next to the regular kind)
2 cups chicken broth
1 packet dry Italian salad dressing (right there next to the dry Ranch dressing and stuff)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
1 pound angel hair pasta cooked and drained
So...here you go...I might have tweaked it just a wee bit but I think Candace will be proud...
In your slow cooker, spread chicken breasts across the bottom, pour over your cream of mushroom soup, add in your cream cheese (don't worry, it will all melt together later...just plop it in), pour in your chicken broth and sprinkle in your Italian dressing mix. If your chicken is frozen, cook on low 7-8 hours...if your chicken is thawed, cook on low 4-5 hours.
Once you're about 15 minutes from dinner time, boil your water and drop your pasta in. While the pasta is cooking, remove lid from slow cooker so some of the moisture can evaporate. Take two forks and shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. At this point, I stirred my cornstarch and cold water together in a separate little bowl and then stirred the combined mixture into the slow cooker. This just thickened the sauce up for me. Candace didn't do this, so if by all means you don't have corn starch on hand, don't worry about it. Your sauce will just be a little thinner than mine.
Once the pasta is finished cooking, toss it in the slow cooker and you're ready to eat. So yummy!!!

i said earlier on twitter it smelled so good and...another hit! it tasted just as good as it smelled! my oldest son ate an unbelievable amount and claimed it is going on his list of favorite meals! thanks so much for sharing your recipes ~ hoping to find some time to try some of your baking recipes soon!
I've made several of your slow cooker recipes, but this was by far the favorite! I will probably be making this every other week for a while. There are enough leftovers for a couple of leftovers for another dinner & a couple of lunches afterwards, which means fewer meals I have to cook for the week. I'm good with that!
I'm having fun going through the recipes and trying new things on your blog. :)
Thank you bunches!
Made this last night for a family whose little girl just had heart surgery and there was enough left over for my family...LOVED it! My friend even texted me this morning telling me how much her kids ate it up! Thanks for the recipe!! Loved I could put it in the crock pot and walk away.
Yummy!!!!!!
