My friend Candice and I often exchange recipes. (Hey Candice!) We are both busy moms and love a delicious yet easy recipe! I recently made this crock pot angel chicken that Candice shared with me. I immediately knew it was a recipe I wanted to share with you too. It takes 5-10 minutes to prepare and then when you are ready to eat you boil the angel hair pasta and toss it together.
I always know a recipe is a ‘keeper’ when my all four of my kids clean their plates, ask for more and not one of them complains. This crock pot Italian Angel Chicken is a crowd pleaser.
Make Ahead Meal
If you wanted to make this meal ahead of time, I would suggest cooking the chicken mixture in the crock pot, allowing it to cool completely and then storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

any other good ideas??
Wow, looks great but VERY high in fat…Can you add any nutritional information please?
Hi Kelsey, the recipe looks amazing! I can't wait to try it tomorrow. It looks like you may have sprinkled some Parmesan on the top. Was this done right before serving or during the cooking process? Thanks for the response.
How do you print this?
Place your curser to the left of the word "Ingredient". Left click and drag the curser across the entire recipe to highlight it in blue. Place the curser anywhere over the highlighted area. Right click & select copy. Open a blank word document & select Paste. This works for any recipe you wish to have as a saved document or ready to print. Sometimes how the recipe is set up, you have to do title, ingredients & directions in separate actions. Some times ingredients come up as a table, but that can be converted to text in the table design section. You can highlight the recipe title first or last & copy & paste it. Hope that helps!
How many does it serve ??
Well….if you have someone that can eat …6 chickens breasts at one sitting……
only one………
Have this in the crockpot now and the aroma is heavenly!! Anonymous, the cream cheese you're looking for is the soft, spreadable one in the little tub
Yes, I'm sure you can, but Philly has all kinds of flavored cream cheese, including the one with chives. Maybe ask the grocer where you go.
Sounds delicious but does cream cheese come in onion and chive? Or am I misreading the ingredients? I really want to try this but want to make sure I buy the right ingredients. If I can't find onion and chive cream cheese, can I just add those two ingredients? mariannakluna@gmail.com
Yes it does come in onion and chive it is the kind in the little 8 oz tubs. They are the spreadable ones.
Yes it does. It is is in the round spreadable containers with a cover. They are the flavored cream cheeses & are normally found above or next to the bricks of cream cheese in the grocery store.
Because of an allergy we can not have any wine I was wondering if chicken broth would work as a good substitute ?
I would think that would work just fine! It might change the flavor a little bit, but it would still be good!
Do you leave chicken breast whole or chop? In picture chicken appears chopped.
Thanks for reply
Once the chicken is done cooking shred with two forks before mixing with the pasta. It should just fall apart. 🙂
This recipe has saved me countless times! You were a lovely find on Pinterest and I have had the honor of re-blogging you as part of my blogging class in culinary school, THANK YOUUU!!
This looks amazing Kelsey! Thanks for linking up at my Pin Me Linky Party. I am now following via GFC, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter & G+!
This looks delicious. I adore crockpot recipes, and this looks extremely tasty. I've pinned it!
I LOVE this recipe. My husband is especially fond of it! I changed one ingredient in it and entered it into a local newspaper contest. I won first prize! I used marsala cooking wine instead of white wine. Next time try it out and see if you like it even better!
I will have to try that!! I do have some in the pantry 🙂
Do you shred the chicken breasts before tossing together with the pasta?
Yes, I shred the chicken with two forks before mixing with the pasta. 🙂
How big of a can of cream of chicken?
I just made your angle chicken pasta it was good, the problem that I had I think it would be better to put the chicken and sauce on the plate then the pasta on top and let the people mix it what do you think?
How many servings does it make? There’s just my husband and myself, so I would adjust the recipe accordingly….
