Ingredients
- 1 lb rotini pasta uncooked
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese Cut into eight pieces
- 3 tsp garlic minced
- ½ cup parmesan cheese finely grated
- 12 oz garlic parmesan sauce I used Buffalo Wild Wings garlic parmesan sauce.
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add the cream cheese, garlic, and parmesan cheese on top. Then, pour garlic parmesan sauce over everything.
- Cover and cook on high for 2½ - 3½ hours or low for 4½ - 5½ hours.
- Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks. Add shredded chicken and heavy cream back in. Mix until well combined.
- Cook rotini pasta to al dente per directions on the package. Drain and add to the crock pot. Mix until well combined.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting.
- Cook the pasta al dente. Don't overcook it or it can become too soft as it absorbs the sauce.
- Enhance the dish by stirring in sun-dried tomatoes or crumbled bacon.
- Use fresh or fully thawed chicken breasts to ensure even cooking and safe food temperatures. Never use frozen meat in the Crock Pot.
- If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, this is a perfect way to use it up!
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil.
