Main Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts (about 1.5 to 2 pounds) If breasts are large, consider halving them for even cooking.
1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 to 11 ounces) For lower sodium, use a low-salt version.
1 packet dry Italian dressing mix Can use reduced-sodium if preferred.
1 cup sour cream Full-fat gives the creamiest result; Greek yogurt can be a substitute.
8 ounces angel hair pasta Swap for spaghetti or linguine if desired.
to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
as needed Chopped parsley for garnish Optional.

Method

Preparation

Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker when possible.
In a medium bowl, whisk the cream of chicken soup with the dry Italian dressing mix until smooth.
Spoon the mixture evenly over the chicken so each piece gets coated.

Cooking

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and warm, avoiding boiling.
While the sauce finishes, cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions and drain well.

Serving

Serve the creamy chicken mixture spooned over the angel hair, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
