Description
This creamy garlic Parmesan chicken pasta is the perfect comfort food, featuring tender chicken and rich flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 (16-ounce) bottle of garlic Parmesan sauce (like Buffalo Wild Wings or similar)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces penne or rotini pasta
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Sprinkle with garlic powder, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the minced garlic on top for that extra fragrant punch.
- Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce and chicken broth over the seasoned chicken. Stir gently to combine, making sure the chicken is coated.
- Slow cook until tender by cooking on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
- Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return it to the slow cooker and stir into the sauce.
- Add cream cheese and shredded Parmesan into the sauce. Let it melt into the sauce, stirring occasionally until smooth and creamy.
- Cook the pasta according to package directions until the sauce thickens. Drain well.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the crockpot and stir until everything is evenly coated. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
