What Makes This Recipe So Good
Talk about comfort food! Angel chicken is so rich and satisfying. It’s one of those dishes where you scrape up every last drop of sauce with your pasta or mashed potatoes, and then you go in again with a piece of bread just in case you somehow left even the essence of the sauce on the plate.Thanks to the Crockpot, you don’t really have to do any actual cooking here. Just toss everything in the slow cooker and turn it on! It’ll take care of the rest.
Chef’s Tips
Cook the dish uncovered. If you cover it, it’ll cook faster, but the sauce will be thinner.Don’t overcook it. Angel chicken isn’t a recipe you should leave on “low” all day. Uncovered, it should be done in 5-6 hours on low or 3 hours on high.The chicken should be 160°F internally when you take it out of the Crockpot. Don’t worry about it being under the food safe temperature – it’ll residually cook a little as it rests. If you’re eyeballing it rather than using a meat thermometer, cut one chicken breast down the center to test it. If it’s no longer pink in the middle but still glistening with moisture, you’re good to stop cooking it.If you want to thin the sauce, use pasta water (preferred) or chicken stock. This way you thin it without diluting the flavor like water would.
