Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 8 ounces Uncooked fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the butter, minced garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, and cubed cream cheese on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning over the mixture.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
After the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
Break the uncooked fettuccine pasta into halves or thirds and add it to the slow cooker. Stir everything to combine well, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the sauce.
Cover and continue cooking on high for an additional 20-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pasta is tender but not overcooked.
Once the pasta is cooked, give everything a good stir to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
