source: unknown

6 boneless chicken breasts
1 pkg. dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 can Cream of Golden Mushroom soup
1/2 C chicken broth
4 oz. cream cheese (reduced fat is fine)
2 green onions, chopped
1 pkg. angel hair pasta, cooked according to box directions

Place chicken in crock pot.  In sauce pan, mix Italian salad dressing mix, soup, cream cheese, green onions and chicken broth.  Stir until cheese is melted.  Pour over chicken.  Cook on low for 4-5 hours.  Pour over cooked pasta.

Notes: I used bow-tie pasta.

Verdict:  When I served this to my family the first question they all had was why was it called Crockpot Angel Chicken.  The ANGEL part totally confused them.  I didn't have an answer... so I made something silly up... like this recipe makes the angels sing.  Just now, while I'm typing this, I realize the name would have made more sense if I had followed the recipe as written... or if I had changed the name of the recipe to Crockpot Bowtie Chicken.  ;-)

Very, very easy.  And so darn yummy!!!

Verdict:  The adults LOVED this!!!  Two of my less-picky eater kids LOVED this.  Three of my kids gave this a thumbs down, but I'm inclined to not really count their votes as they are so super picky!  I will definitely make this again!  It was easy, and very yummy!!!!
