Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
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 tsp Italian seasoning (divided)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Optional Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place chicken breasts at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Lightly season the chicken with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ensuring even distribution over the meat.
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, light brown sugar, and cream of chicken soup. Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Combine and add butter: Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker. Add the unsalted butter on top, then sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning over everything.
- Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 2.5 to 3.5 hours. The chicken should become fork-tender and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Shred and mix: Carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts and shred them into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the crock pot and stir to combine thoroughly with the sauce. Taste and adjust salt or seasoning if necessary.
- Serve: Serve the hot, creamy Angel Chicken over your choice of hot cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired for a fresh finish.
