Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine (or more chicken broth if preferred)
1 packet (0.7 oz) Italian dressing mix

Directions

I start by placing the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, I whisk together the softened cream cheese, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, wine (or extra broth), and the Italian dressing mix until smooth.
I pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the crockpot.
I cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Just before serving, I stir the sauce gently and shred or slice the chicken if I want it to be more incorporated into the dish.
I serve it warm over angel hair pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or even steamed vegetables.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 4 generous servings and takes about 5–6 hours on low or 3–4 hours on high in the crockpot. It’s great for a hands-off meal that’s ready when I walk in the door.

Variations

I sometimes add sliced mushrooms or baby spinach in the last hour of cooking for a veggie boost.
For a slightly tangier sauce, I use a splash of lemon juice instead of wine.
If I want to lighten it up a bit, I use reduced-fat cream cheese and low-sodium soup.
I’ve also made this with boneless chicken thighs—they stay incredibly juicy and flavorful.
When I want a more baked pasta vibe, I stir the cooked chicken and sauce into cooked noodles and top with shredded mozzarella, then bake for 15 minutes.

Storage/Reheating

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. I reheat them in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or milk to loosen the sauce if needed. This dish also freezes well—I cool it completely, store it in airtight containers, and freeze for up to 2 months. I thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat as usual.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?

Yes, I’ve used frozen chicken, but I always make sure to cook it on low to allow enough time for safe cooking. It may take an extra hour.

What can I serve this with?

I usually serve it over angel hair pasta, which pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce. It also goes well with rice, mashed potatoes, or even zucchini noodles.

Can I make this without wine?

Absolutely. I just use more chicken broth in place of the wine. The dish is just as delicious and still full of flavor.

Can I cook this in the oven instead?

Yes, I place everything in a baking dish, cover it with foil, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 40–45 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

How do I make the sauce smoother?

If I want an extra-smooth sauce, I blend the cream cheese mixture before adding it to the crockpot. This helps remove any lumps.

Conclusion

Crockpot Angel Chicken Delight is one of those set-it-and-forget-it meals that delivers pure comfort and flavor with minimal effort. The creamy, savory sauce, tender chicken, and hands-free cooking make it a winning recipe in my kitchen. Whether I serve it over pasta for a cozy dinner or meal prep it for the week, it never fails to satisfy.
