Crockpot Angel Chicken Recipe


Description

Make a creamy, flavorful Crockpot Angel Chicken with chicken breasts, cream cheese, and ranch dressing. Perfect for a hearty family meal.


Ingredients

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: 4-6 pieces – Chicken breasts are the main protein in this dish, providing lean protein and tenderness.
  • Cream Cheese: 8 oz (softened) – Adds creaminess and richness to the sauce.
  • Ranch Dressing: 1/2 cup – Brings a tangy flavor and helps create the creamy texture of the sauce.
  • Chicken Broth: 1/2 cup – Adds moisture to the dish while enhancing the chicken flavor.
  • Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon – Adds a savory depth to the sauce.
  • Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon – Provides sweetness and umami flavor.
  • Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon – For a bit of seasoning.
  • Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup (optional) – Adds a savory, nutty flavor to the sauce (optional but recommended).
  • Fresh Parsley (optional): For garnish and added freshness.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. No need to brown the chicken beforehand—just make sure they are evenly spaced in the slow cooker.

  2. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until the cream cheese is fully incorporated into the mixture. If you like, you can add Parmesan cheese to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor.

  3. Pour the Sauce Over the Chicken: Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring the chicken is fully covered by the sauce.

  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender enough to shred with a fork.

  5. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce.

  6. Serve: Serve the Crockpot Angel Chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or a salad. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
