Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked pasta Any pasta shape you prefer works.
  • 1 lb chicken breast Look for lean, boneless chicken.
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter version, try half-and-half or cashew cream.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Use a melting cheese like mozzarella or cheddar.
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your crockpot. Make sure they are well-distributed for even cooking.
  2. Toss in the diced onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning, ensuring everything is well combined.
Cooking
  1. Cover and set your crockpot to low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  2. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and shred it using two forks to help it soak up the flavorful broth.
  3. Stir in the cooked pasta, heavy cream, and shredded cheese until everything is thoroughly combined and creamy.
  4. Cover the pot again, letting it cook for an additional 15-30 minutes until everything is heated through and luxurious.
  5. Finally, taste your creation and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken if short on time; just mix it with other ingredients! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
