Crockpot Creamy Italian Chicken & Pasta
Cooking it all in the Crockpot. No other dishes to make this scrumptious pasta dish.
Equipment
- 6 quart crockpot
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 8 oz cream cheese (onion & chive flavor) cubed
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 TBS dry Italian seasoning
- 1 TBS dry parsley
- 12 oz uncooked dry pasta (egg noodles, elbow, lasagna noodles, etc.)
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Spray with non-stick cooking spray bottom of 6 quart crockpot
- Place chicken in bottom of crockpot. Season with salt & pepper.
- Place cubed cream cheese all over the chicken. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and parsley on top of cream cheese.(NOTE: If you are not using the "Chive & Onion" flavor cream cheese, you can add chopped onion or onion powder for that flavor.)
- Pour chicken broth all over the chicken, cream cheese, and seasonings. Place lid on crockpot. Cook on high 3-4 hours or 5-6 hours on low until chicken is cooked through and fork tender and can shred easily.
- Shred chicken in the crockpot. Place crockpot on High heat and stir in dry uncooked pasta. Place lid back on and cook anywhere from 15-30 minutes until pasta is cooked and tender.(NOTE: Cooking time will depend on the size of your uncooked pasta.)
- Stir in mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.(NOTE: if you need to thicken more, add corn starch slurry. (2 TBS corn starch and 1/4 cup water whisked together.)(NOTE: if too thick, add more chicken broth to thin out sauce.)
- (NOTE: if you want to add broccoli or other vegetable, add once pasta goes into crockpot.)
