Servings: 8
Calories: 479kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tbsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 12 oz Garlic Parmesan Sauce (store-bought or make your own garlic parmesan sauce)* See notes for recipe.
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 16 oz pasta cooked and drained (I used farfalle.)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Grease the bottom of the crockpot with the butter.
- Place the chicken breast in the bottom of the crockpot and sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the top.
- Pour the Parmesan garlic sauce over the chicken.
- Add the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chicken broth to the top of the sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the crockpot, shred it, and add it back to the sauce.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. (You'll want the pasta to be al dente, slightly firm so shave 1-2 minutes from the cooking time.)
- Add the pasta to the chicken and sauce mixture and stir to combine. Allow to cook for 5 minutes more so that the pasta can absorb some of the creamy sauce. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes and serve!

Notes
- I used chicken breast in this recipe, but feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.
- Bring the cream cheese to room temperature before adding it to prevent it from curdling in the sauce.
- If you can't find Garlic Parmesan Sauce in the store, you can make your own garlic parmesan sauce with this recipe, or reference the "How to make homemade garlic parmesan sauce" section above in the post.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove until heated through.
