Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 10.5 oz golden mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.7 oz dry Italian dressing mix
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 16 oz angel hair pasta
Instructions:
- Arrange the base. Place the 2 lbs of chicken thighs in a single layer at the bottom of your 6 quart slow cooker. Note: Crowding them on top of each other leads to uneven cooking.
- Season the protein. Sprinkle the 1 tsp of cracked black pepper and 0.5 tsp garlic powder evenly over the chicken.
- Create the emulsion. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted 0.5 cup butter, the 10.5 oz can of golden mushroom soup, the 0.7 oz packet of Italian dressing mix, and the 0.25 cup of white wine. Whisk until the mixture is uniform and thick.
- Submerge the chicken. Pour this sauce over the thighs. Use a spoon to make sure every nook and cranny of the meat is covered.
- Start the slow cook. Cover and set to LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.
- The halfway melt. At the 2 hour mark (if on HIGH) or 3 hour mark (if on LOW), lift the lid and drop in the 4 oz of cubed cream cheese. Do not stir yet. Just let it sit on top and soften.
- Boil the pasta. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, boil your 16 oz of angel hair pasta in salted water. Drain well but do not rinse.
- The final marriage. Open the slow cooker and whisk the now melted cream cheese into the sauce. It should look like velvety gold.
- Serve and garnish. Place a mound of pasta on a plate, top with a chicken thigh and plenty of sauce. Garnish with the 0.25 cup of fresh minced parsley.
