Pinned & prepped: Slow cooker angel chicken

March 2, 2012 by Emily Hill 31 Comments

I discovered another Pinterest find that worked perfectly in the slow cooker–yay!

The other day I was thinking I’d make creamy Italian chicken again, but then I thought perhaps there might be a variation out there my family would like (and one that didn’t require me doing anything while the chicken was slow cooking).

I totally found one:  angel chicken by cleverlyinspired.

Even though I didn’t have any fresh mushrooms whatsoever, not to mention golden mushroom soup, white wine and cream cheese with chive and onion, I went for it.

Here’s how I made it:

  • Left out the mushrooms—much to the chagrin of half the family.
  • Used regular, ol’ cream of mushroom soup, reduced-fat cream cheese and white cooking wine (not the same as a good dry white wine but as close as I could get).
  • Threw in about a 1/2 tablespoon of dried chive and a dash of onion powder. Or was it salt? Heck if I remember.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces at the very end and served it over white rice. We prefer it that way.

The end result was delicious with even a few plates licked clean (not literally, for once). And I loved that I didn’t have to add ingredients or remove the chicken partway through the recipe. So easy!

By the way, I’ve read through the cleverlyinspired recipe and even Googled the original Midwest Living recipe and I still don’t know why it’s called “angel chicken.” Any guesses?

What you’ll need for the original recipe:

Chicken breasts
Fresh button mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms
Butter
Dry Italian dressing mix
Condensed golden mushroom soup
Dry white wine
Cream cheese spread with chives and onion
Rice or angel hair pasta

    Have you tried all of these slow cooker recipes? Which 5 are your absolute favorite (and healthiest?). I really need to use mine more…but feel that good slow cooker recipes can be tough to find.

    Hope you’re well!

      Hi, Stephanie! I haven’t tried them all but my favorites so far are:

      * Creamy Italian Chicken
      * Angel Chicken (from Pinterest above)
      * Cafe Rio Sweet Pork with Creamy Cilantro Dressing
      * Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup
      * Market Street Clam Chowder
      * Spaghetti & Meatballs (because it’s so dang easy!)

      Of course, my favorite go-to slow cooker recipe is frozen chicken breasts and a jar of your favorite Thai or Indian simmering sauce. Heck, you can even use a jar of salsa!
