Angel chicken is a wonderful dish that is made up of tender chicken breasts, cream of mushroom soup and delicate angel hair pasta, all brought together with Italian seasoning. This dinner is comforting on just about every level and is the perfect meal to complement a cold winter night.
I remember the first time I made this recipe for my family. I was hesitant about using the Italian dressing mix, but it ended up adding the perfect amount of flavor to the dish. The slow cooker made it so convenient, as I was able to prep everything in the morning before work and come home to a fully cooked and delicious meal. It's become a staple in our household and I always get requests to make it whenever we have company over.
Pro tip: We love to shred the chicken with a fork before mixing the pasta in. This will ensure that you get a bite of mouth-watering shredded chicken with each bite.
