Instructions
Creating Easy Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is a breeze if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot.
2. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, then sprinkle the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the chicken.
3. Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
5. Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, mixing well until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
6. Cook the Pasta: Add the uncooked pasta to the crockpot, ensuring it’s submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente.
7. Adjust Consistency: If the dish is too thick, add a little more chicken broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated through, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
