ANGEL CHICKEN -- (Serves 6)

This recipe is called Angel Chicken both because it’s heavenly and because it’s served over angel hair pasta.  Angel hair especially makes sense when you are in a hurry as it cooks up quickly.

6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total)

¼ cup butter or margarine

1 package of Italian dry salad dressing mix (e.g., Good Seasonings)

1 10 ¾ ounce can condensed golden mushroom soup

½ of an 8-ounce tub of cream cheese with chives

½ cup dry white wine or water

3 cups hot cooked angel hair pasta

Snipped fresh chives (optional)

1. In a 4 quart slow cooker, place chicken pieces.  For sauce, in a medium saucepan melt butter.  Stir in salad dressing mix.  Stir in mushroom soup, cream cheese, and wine.  Pour over chicken in slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.  Serve chicken and sauce over hot cooked pasta.  If desired, sprinkle with fresh chives.
