Angel Chicken Pasta

This is some of my favorite, all time easy comfort foods. The sauce is so rich, and a little salty- but I usually love things that way once and a while.

Ingredients:

--6 skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves
--1/4 C butter
--1 (.7 ounce) pkg dry italian-style dressing mix (sometimes I reduce this to 3/4 of the pkg//only Good Seasons brand)
--1/2 C white cooking wine
--1 (10.75 oz) can condensed golden mushroom soup (I usually use my own homemade mushroom white sauce, which reduces the salt, but for sake of EASY, you can use the canned stuff)
--4 oz cream cheese with chives or any herb flavor you like (set out 20-30 minutes early to soften)
--1 lb angel hair pasta

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 F
2. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat melt and blend: butter, dressing, wine, soup and cream cheese. Stir until smooth. Do not boil.
3. Pour a thin layer of sauce into bottom of 9x13 glass baking dish to avoid sticking. Arrange chicken in a single layer. Pour remainder of sauce over the top.
4. Bake for 40-60 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout (depends on thickness and your oven).
5. Cook pasta per box directions. Serve chicken and sauce over pasta.

* I love to put sliced (long way) carrots and broccoli in the chicken sauce so that it is soft when the chicken is done.

  1. Probably could be doubled- but you would need another pan or a giant one, and I am not really sure how long it would take to bake. I think you could probably cook it in a large crock pot, as an alternative.
