Make this creamy, easy Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta for a comforting, low-effort weeknight dinner. The slow cooker tenderizes the chicken, which mixes with pasta in a rich, cheesy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb dried pasta (penne or rotini recommended)
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  6. Stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta well.
  8. Add the cooked, drained pasta to the slow cooker and stir to coat everything in the sauce.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • If the sauce seems too thick after adding the pasta, add a splash of milk or reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese along with the Parmesan.
  • This recipe freezes well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
