Slow Cooker Angel Chicken and Italian Dressing Mix

Heavenly Dinner: Only 5 ingredients. It is so creamy and rich that my family would clean their plates every time with the sauce.

Ingredients

Put the chicken in the low section of a 4 to 6 quarts slow cooker in one layer.
Add the Italian dressing mix, the cream of chicken soup, and the chicken broth (or water) to a medium bowl and whisk together until relatively smooth.
Add the cubes of cream cheese over the chicken, and pour evenly the soup mix over it.
Cover and cook on LOW about 4-6 hours or cover and cook on HIGH about 2-3 hours until the chicken is very tender and can be shredded with a fork.
Shred or cut the chicken in two forks directly in the slow cooker and mix thoroughly to combine with the creamy sauce. Cover and allow to sit on WARM 5-10 minutes allowing flavours to blend and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add flavoring and add seasoning when necessary and then serve the angel chicken hot upon cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

To make it rich and old-fashioned, you can replace half of the broth with a dry white wine, as the ladies did with casseroles on special occasions.
Prefer thighs to breasts, they keep quite juicy and highly tolerant in the slow cooker.
In order to make things a bit lighter, take reduced-fat cream cheese and a healthier version of cream of chicken soup; the sauce will be a little runny but with a comforting quality.
A handful of chopped mushrooms or a cup of frozen peas stirredrisen last half-an-hour of cooking can add some color and texture to it as well.
You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a spoonful of prepared when you are in a mood to have some kick.

The left-overs can be stored in the refrigerator over a few days and they can be warmed up well on the stovetop by adding a splash of milk or broth to thin the sauce.
To make a potlatch, double the recipe and place it in a bigger slow cooker and turn it to WARM and allow everyone to help themselves and serve it all up throughout the night.
