Step 4: Slow Cook the Chicken
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and can be easily shredded with a fork. If you’re in a hurry, you can also cook it on high for 2-3 hours. The slow cooking process allows all the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and comforting sauce.
Step 5: Shred the Chicken
Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. Stir everything together so that the chicken is well coated with the creamy sauce. The sauce should be thick, rich, and full of flavor.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Crockpot Angel Chicken over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up all that creamy goodness. You can also pair it with a side of steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Tips for the Best Crockpot Angel Chicken
Use Chicken Thighs for Extra Juiciness: While boneless, skinless chicken breasts are perfect for this recipe, you can also use chicken thighs for a juicier and more flavorful result. Just adjust the cooking time slightly, as chicken thighs can take a little longer to cook.
Adjust the Sauce Consistency: If you find the sauce too thick, you can add a little chicken broth or milk to thin it out. On the other hand, if you prefer a thicker sauce, let it cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce and thicken.
Add Extra Flavor: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. You can also stir in some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, at the end of cooking.
