Notes
- Substitutions:
- You can use cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom for a lighter flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream cheese and soup with non-dairy alternatives, like coconut cream or cashew cream.
- Gluten-free pasta works well in place of regular angel hair pasta if needed.
- Make-Ahead: This recipe can be prepared the night before. Simply assemble everything in the crockpot, store in the fridge overnight, and start cooking the next day.
- Freezing: Crockpot Angel Chicken freezes beautifully. Portion it out in airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and reheat in a skillet, adding a little chicken broth to refresh the sauce.
- Additional Veggies: Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, peas, or bell peppers to the crockpot for a more balanced meal.
- Keto/Low-Carb Option: Swap the pasta for zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice to make this dish keto or low-carb friendly.
