Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 12 ounces Pasta (such as fettuccine or spaghetti)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a crock pot in a single layer.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth into the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is partially submerged.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
Turn the crock pot to high heat. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until combined.
In a small bowl, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Slowly stir the slurry into the sauce in the crock pot to thicken it.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to coat it in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
While the chicken is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with butter.
To serve, place a portion of pasta on each plate and top with the creamy chicken mixture. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Enjoy your Crock Pot Chicken Over Pasta!
