Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Liquids

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Pasta and Cheese

  • 2 cups uncooked penne pasta
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season and Cook Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and season evenly with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Pour in the chicken broth to cover the chicken. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with flavors.
  2. Shred Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot and place them on a plate or cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks until finely pulled apart. Set aside.
  3. Cook Pasta in Crockpot: Add the uncooked penne pasta directly into the crockpot with the cooking liquid. Stir gently to combine and ensure the pasta is submerged. Cover and let cook on low for 30 to 40 minutes or until the pasta is tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add Cream and Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and the shredded chicken. Mix thoroughly to combine ingredients and create a rich, creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on low to warm through and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Serve: Give the Crockpot Chicken Alfredo Pasta a final stir and serve hot. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated.
  • Adding a handful of spinach or sun-dried tomatoes can enhance flavor and nutrition.
  • Adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste before serving.
  • Use gluten-free pasta to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Make sure to stir the pasta occasionally while cooking to prevent clumping.
