Ingredients

Instructions

  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden but not cooked through. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, butter, chicken broth, minced garlic, and Italian dressing seasoning until smooth.
  • Place the seared chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the prepared cream cheese mixture over the chicken.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and set it aside.
  • Mix the heavy cream and cornstarch in a small bowl until completely combined and smooth. Stir the heavy cream mixture into the slow cooker with the cooking liquid.
  • Return the whole chicken breasts to the slow cooker, cover and cook for another 15-20 minutes on high to thicken the sauce.
  • While the sauce thickens, cook the angel hair pasta in boiling salted water according to the package directions. Drain well.
  • Serve the chicken breasts over the angel hair pasta and spoon with the creamy sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped Italian parsley and grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
