Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 10 ounces dry pasta cooked and drained
- 12 ounces Parmesan garlic sauce
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into chunks
- Fresh parsley and crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Lightly coat the interior of a slow cooker with non-stick spray.
- Arrange the chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Pour the full bottle of Parmesan garlic sauce directly over the chicken.
- Distribute the cream cheese pieces and grated Parmesan evenly on top of the sauced chicken.
- Secure the lid and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and stir it thoroughly into the sauce to combine.
- While the chicken finishes cooking, prepare the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain well.
- Add the cooked pasta into the crockpot and mix until evenly coated with the sauce.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and crushed red pepper flakes before serving.
Notes
Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for desired spice level. Use any short pasta variety such as penne, rotini, or rigatoni for best results.
