Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a cast-iron skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, unsalted butter, cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, chicken broth, and dressing mix. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Lightly coat the inside of your crock pot with non-stick spray. Place seared chicken in a single layer, and pour the creamy sauce evenly over it.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, ensuring chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. During the last 10 minutes, prepare angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Cook until al dente, drain, and set aside.
  6. Once chicken is cooked and tender, serve over pasta. Ladle sauce over the top and garnish with parsley, cracked pepper, and Parmesan cheese if desired.
