Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning, divided
Sauce
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a 6-quart slow cooker. Lightly season the chicken with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ensuring even coating.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, light brown sugar, and cream of chicken soup until smooth and fully combined.
- Add Sauce and Butter: Pour the prepared creamy sauce evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker. Top with unsalted butter and sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over the butter.
- Slow Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2.5-3.5 hours until the chicken is fork-tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Shred and Mix: Carefully remove the cooked chicken and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it well into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve: Serve the hot, creamy Angel Chicken generously over cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, to add a fresh touch before serving.
