Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (about 680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb (about 454g) dry fettuccine or your favorite pasta
  • Fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, cubed unsalted butter, minced garlic, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker or crockpot. Everything should be thoroughly mixed together.
  2. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the mixture in the slow cooker, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
  3. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for about 4 to 5 hours or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours. The chicken should become tender and fully cooked.
  4. Around 20 minutes before the cooking time is done, cook the fettuccine or your choice of pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta.
  5. Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, gently shred the chicken into smaller pieces using two forks.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the slow cooker with the shredded chicken and the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Stir everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
  7. Let the pasta cook in the slow cooker for an additional 10-15 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  8. Taste the pasta and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Serve the Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta in individual bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
