How to Make Slow Cooker Taco Angel Chicken
We loved this Slow Cooker Taco Angel Chicken. It is super simple to make and it tastes great. Place the chicken in bottom of the slow cooker insert. Next, heat the cream of chicken soup, taco seasoning, Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, cream cheese and chicken broth in a saucepan over medium heat. This is just to incorporate the cream cheese so you don’t have clumps of cream cheese in the finished dish.
This chicken uses a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles. If you are worried about the heat, make sure to grab a can of mild diced tomatoes and green chiles. We didn’t find this spicy, but I know everyone is different.
What is Angel Chicken
Traditionally Angel Chicken is served over angel hair pasta. That is how it gets its name. I decided to serve this taco chicken over some Mexican rice and black beans. We loved it! Don’t let that yummy sauce go to waste. Spoon it over the chicken! If you don’t want to serve this chicken over rice, it would also be great over the traditional angel hair pasta or even mashed potatoes.

Could you use other forms of chicken? My husband likes dark meat. Thanks!
You can try it with whatever chicken you want.
Can you put all ingredients into the crock pot without preparing it first in the saucepan?
absolutely, but the cream cheese might not fully incorporated. After the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and whisk the sauce so it is smooth.
please share rice recipe too!
I used this Quick Enchilada Rice recipe and added a can of drained and rinsed black beans.
