Ingredients
– 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (substitute with boneless chicken thighs if desired for juicier results)
– 12 ounces parmesan garlic sauce (can be store-bought or prepared at home)
– 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces (room temperature is recommended to prevent curdling)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is preferred for better flavor)
– 10 ounces dry rotini pasta (cooked and drained according to package instructions; penne can be used as an alternative)
– Fresh parsley for garnish
– Red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
1-Getting started with this garlic parmesan chicken pasta in your slow cooker is simple and rewarding. Begin by spraying the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. This ensures your meal comes out clean and flavorful every time.
2-Place the 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker, then pour the entire 12 ounces of parmesan garlic sauce over the chicken. Add the 8 ounces of cream cheese, cut into pieces, and the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
3-Once done, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce. In a separate pot, cook the 10 ounces of dry rotini pasta according to package instructions, then drain it. Add the pasta to the slow cooker, stir to coat evenly, and garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes before serving.
