Description

Creamy, cheesy, and packed with garlic flavor, this Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is the ultimate weeknight comfort food. Let your slow cooker do all the work for a family-friendly dinner that’s full of flavor and so easy to make!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)

  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tbsp)

  • 12 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or fusilli)

  • ½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half

  • Fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Place chicken breasts in the crockpot. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. Add sauce ingredients: Pour chicken broth over chicken, then top with cubed cream cheese, Parmesan, and minced garlic.

  3. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through.

  4. Shred the chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir to combine with the sauce.

  5. Cook pasta separately: While chicken cooks, boil pasta according to package directions. Drain well.

  6. Combine: Add cooked pasta to the crockpot. Stir in heavy cream or half-and-half until the sauce coats everything.

  7. Serve: Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms.
Use boneless thighs for a richer, juicier version.
Leftovers keep for 3 days in the fridge; add a splash of broth or cream when reheating.
Freeze chicken and sauce separately from pasta for best results
