Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked pasta Use any pasta shape you love, such as penne or fettuccine.
  • 1 lb chicken breast Consider using boneless thighs for more flavor.
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Substitute with half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Use a mix of your favorite cheeses like mozzarella and parmesan.
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning Can be replaced with fresh herbs for added freshness.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by placing the chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning, ensuring everything is well mixed.
  3. Cover your crockpot and set it to low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Cooking
  1. When cooked, remove the chicken and shred it with two forks.
  2. Stir the cooked pasta, heavy cream, and shredded cheese into the crockpot.
  3. Cover the crockpot again and allow it to cook for an additional 15-30 minutes.
  4. Finally, taste your dish and adjust with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

Check the doneness after a few hours on high to ensure the chicken stays moist. Allow the meal to sit after cooking to develop flavors.
