Ingredients
12 ounces parmesan garlic sauce
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
10 ounces dry pasta, cooked and drained
Parsley, for garnish
Red pepper flakes, for garnish
Instructions
- Spray the inside of the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Pour the parmesan garlic sauce over the chicken.
- Add cream cheese pieces and grated parmesan on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
- Shred the chicken in the crockpot and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, and add to the crockpot.
- Mix until pasta is well coated, garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes, and serve.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a faster version — reduce cook time to 1 hour on low.
- Swap pasta with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash for a low-carb version.
- Add spinach, broccoli, or mushrooms during the last 30 minutes of cooking for extra vegetables.
- Try Alfredo sauce instead of parmesan garlic for a milder taste.
- Stir occasionally to help prevent the sauce from separating.
