Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves garlic smashed
  • 6 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound uncooked pasta rigatoni, ziti or other large shape

    4 large chicken breasts, 2 cloves garlic, 6 ounces cream cheese, 1 ½ cups chicken stock, 1 ½ cups heavy cream, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Cover and cook on high for 2 ½ to 3 hours, or on low for 4 to 5 hours.
  • Remove chicken from the slow cooker, let sit for 3 to 4 minutes until cooled slightly. Shred with a fork into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta according to package directions until just al dente. Drain.
    1 pound uncooked pasta
  • Add the shredded chicken, cooked pasta, parmesan and parsley into the slow cooker with the sauce. Stir together, cover, then cook on high for 5 to 6 minutes until everything is heated through.
    ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 3 Tablespoons fresh parsley

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce.
  • Don’t overcook pasta — it will get softer in the sauce.
  • Add pasta just before serving to prevent sogginess.
  • Stir gently to keep the sauce creamy and smooth.
