Ingredients
– 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or substitute with chicken thighs for a juicier texture)
– 12 ounces parmesan garlic sauce
– 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces (room temperature recommended for smooth mixing)
– ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 10 ounces cooked dry rotini pasta (penne or any pasta that holds sauce well can be used instead)
– Fresh parsley for garnish
– Optional red pepper flakes for garnish
– 2 pounds chicken breasts
– 8 ounces cream cheese
– 10 ounces rotini
Instructions
Getting started is simple and fun just grab your crockpot and a few key items. This recipe takes about 5 minutes to prepare, with the rest handled by slow cooking. You’ll end up with a creamy, delicious meal that everyone will love!
First, spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the 2 pounds of chicken breasts inside and pour the entire 12 ounces of parmesan garlic sauce over them. The sauce infuses the chicken with flavor as it cooks.
1-Add the 8 ounces of cream cheese pieces and ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken.
2-Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
3-Once done, shred the chicken right in the crockpot and mix it into the sauce for even coating.
4-Cook 10 ounces of dry rotini pasta separately according to package instructions, then drain it.
5-Stir the cooked pasta into the crockpot mixture to combine everything.
6-Garnish with fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes before serving for a fresh finish.
