Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• 1 packet dry Italian seasoning mix
• 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• Salt & pepper to taste (optional)
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
• Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot in a single layer.
If desired, lightly season with salt and pepper for added depth of flavor.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, Italian seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth.
Stir or whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully blended with no lumps.

Step 3: Pour the Sauce Over the Chicken

Pour the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the crockpot, making sure each piece is fully covered.

Step 4: Cook Low and Slow

Cover the crockpot with the lid.
Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours, or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and fork-tender.

Step 5: Shred the Chicken

Once the chicken is done, use two forks to shred it directly in the crockpot.
Mix the shredded chicken into the sauce so it gets fully coated in the rich, creamy mixture.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Spoon the hot, creamy angel chicken over your favorite base:

• Pasta (such as angel hair, fettuccine, or penne)
• Mashed potatoes
• White or brown rice
• Toasted bread or dinner rolls

Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and serve hot!
