Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6-8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound penne or rotini pasta
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Place in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Add minced garlic, butter, and chicken broth to the crockpot.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours until chicken reaches 165°F and shreds easily.
  4. Remove chicken, shred it, and return to the crockpot.
  5. Add uncooked pasta to the crockpot and stir well to ensure it's submerged.
  6. Cover and cook on high for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in heavy cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan until melted and creamy.
  8. Let sit for 5-10 minutes with the lid off, then garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results. Adjust seasonings to taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
