Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Broth and Cheeses:

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Seasonings and Pasta:

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 oz uncooked pasta (such as elbow macaroni or shells)

Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Get the Chicken Ready: Start by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. It’s the base of this delicious dish, so make sure they are laid flat.
  2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the top of the chicken. These seasonings will add great flavor as it cooks.
  3. Add the Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring it’s well covered. This will keep the chicken moist and create a lovely sauce.
  4. Cooking Time: Cover the crockpot and let it cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. You know it’s done when the chicken is fully cooked and tender, shredding nicely with a fork.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. It’s okay to let it rest for a minute to cool down a bit!
  6. Mix in the Cheeses: Once shredded, return the chicken to the crockpot. Add the softened cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together well until the cheeses melt and mix with the broth, creating a creamy sauce.
  7. Add the Pasta: Next, pour in the uncooked pasta. Give it a good stir, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the sauce for even cooking.
  8. Cooking the Pasta: Cover the crockpot again and cook on high for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through. Make sure to give it a stir now and then to prevent sticking!
  9. Final Touches: If using, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, cover, and let it melt for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, and if you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the top. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, garlicky Parmesan chicken pasta!
