ANGEL HAIR CHICKEN

I love my crock pots! I can’t say it enough. This week I bought a new wave digital cooker thinking that cooking dinner would be quicker and easier. NOT! I had to watch my food cook constantly. The cooking times did not match up with the cookbook. My brisket came out a little crispy around the edges and very chewy on the insides. The next morning I cut the meat up and made a vegetable beef soup in my crock pot. The meat ended up being very tender after simmering all day. I knew I should have just bought another crock pot. So after one bad dinner, I felt that I needed to redeem myself the next night with an awesome dinner. Last week I found this wonderful quick and easy chicken dinner that looked really good. I had tried a recipe similar to this that used a whole block of cream cheese and 8 oz. of sour cream and thought that was too cheesy and tart tasting. This one called for only 4 oz. of cream cheese and golden mushroom soup.  I think the soup made the big difference for us. The taste was kind of a buttery, cheesy, creamy taste that went over the angel hair pasta perfectly.  You could even get creative and add mushrooms to this to make it even better. I had plenty of gravy left over dunk my garlic toast in. YUM!! It was so good we only had enough leftovers for 2 lunches the next day. That was okay because my mother wanted vegetable beef soup  I made from the previous night's fiasco. I also think this would be really good with pork chops and potatoes cut up in the bottom of the pot. I think I’ll have to try that next week.  
 

INGREDIENTS:

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I used chicken tenders)

1 can of golden mushroom soup

½ cup of chicken broth

1/4 stick of butter

4 oz. of cream cheese

Angel hair pasta cooked according to the directions

DIRECTIONS:

Spray the crock pot with PAM. Place the chicken in the bottom of the pot. Then melt the butter in a bowl and add the cream cheese, salad dressing, soup, and chicken broth. Mix thoroughly and pour over the chicken breasts. Cover and cook on low for 4 – 5 hours.
Serve over angel hair pasta, rice, or even mashed potatoes.
