  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes to 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Dairy Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings and Broth

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts on both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to infuse each bite with flavor.
  2. Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Dollop cream cheese evenly over each piece, then spoon sour cream on top. Pour the chicken broth carefully around the chicken to keep the cream cheese in place.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for 4 to 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  4. Add the Cheeses: About 15 minutes before the cooking time ends, sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken, allowing them to melt into a golden, cheesy topping.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, serve the crockpot angel chicken warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs when possible to enhance flavor, especially added just before serving.
  • Check chicken tenderness at 4 hours to avoid overcooking and drying out the meat.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before shredding or serving to keep it juicy.
  • Use good-quality mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses for best taste.
  • Layer cream cheese by dolloping rather than stirring to prevent clumping.
