Description
This crockpot garlic Parmesan chicken pasta is the ultimate comfort food made easy. Tender chicken simmers in a slow cooker with rich Parmesan, cream cheese, garlic, and broth—creating a luscious, savory sauce that clings to every bite of pasta.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed and softened
1 tbsp minced garlic
12 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or your favorite)
½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
Optional: chopped parsley or extra Parmesan for garnish
Instructions
1. Put chicken breasts in the crockpot and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Pour chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and minced garlic over the chicken.
3. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until chicken is tender.
4. Shred the chicken in the crockpot and combine with the sauce.
5. Cook pasta separately, then add to the crockpot.
6. Pour in heavy cream or half-and-half, stir until well coated and creamy.
7. Serve warm, topped with extra Parmesan or parsley.
Notes
Cook pasta separately to maintain texture.
Add cream after slow cooking to keep the sauce smooth.
Use fresh garlic and grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freeze in single portions if needed.
Pair with a green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
