  • Total Time: 35 minute
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed

For Serving:

  • 12 oz cooked pasta (penne, rotini, or bowtie)
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley or fresh basil
  • Extra Parmesan for topping

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing your slow cooker. Place the chicken in the bottom of a greased Crock-Pot.
  2. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This creates a flavorful base for the dish.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil and minced garlic over medium heat. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, releasing the garlic's incredible aroma.
  4. Carefully pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Whisk in the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken in the Crock-Pot, ensuring every piece is well-covered.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should become incredibly tender and easily shredded.
  8. Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken and shred or slice it. Return the chicken to the pot.
  9. Stir in the pre-cooked pasta and let it warm through in the sauce for 10 to 15 minutes.
