Slow Cooker Parmesan Garlic Chicken Pasta

Author: Nikki Lee
Servings: 8 servings
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 5 minutes

Equipment

  • crock pot
  • Measuring Cups

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 ounces Parmesan Garlic Sauce I used Buffalo Wild Wings Brand
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cut into pieces
  • 1 cups milk
  • ½ to 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (to taste)
  • 16 ounces dry pasta cooked and drained
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Spray the insert of the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
    1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Pour the parmesan garlic sauce over the chicken. Then add the milk to the garlic parmesan bottle and shake well to remove any remaining sauce from the bottle. Then, pour over the chicken.
    1 cups milk
  • Add the cream cheese and parmesan cheese to the top of the chicken and sauce.
    4 ounces cream cheese, ½ to 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Cover with the lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2-3 hours. (Chicken should have an internal temperature of 165℉).
  • About 15 to 20 minutes before cooking time is up, cook the pasta according to the package instructions to al dente or desired doneness.
    16 ounces dry pasta
  • While pasta is cooking, remove the chicken from the crockpot to a cutting board and shred or chop.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain the pasta in a colander. (If you like a thinner sauce, you can retain some of the pasta water to make it thin. I have never had to do this.)
  • Place the shredded or chopped chicken, cooked pasta, and heavy cream back into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
    1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Extra Cheesy Version: add 1 ½ to 2 cups of Mozzarella Cheese to the top after it's done, and then place the lid on until melted.

Storage Instructions

This dish really does make great leftovers. The flavors and textures hold up well when reheating it.
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, you can add a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce if you'd like, as it tends to thicken when chilled.
Reheat: Warm on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally to prevent it from drying out.
