How to Make Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

Step 1 – Layer the base

Place chicken in the crockpot. Pour over the garlic parmesan sauce until it’s fully coated. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2 – Add the creamy crew

Pour in the milk. Drop in the cubed cream cheese and sprinkle the parmesan on top. Give it a gentle stir.

Step 3 – Let the magic happen

Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. Once the chicken is fork-tender, shred it right in the pot or chop it into chunks.

Step 4 – Cook and stir in the pasta

Boil your pasta separately, then stir it into the crockpot until coated. For extra creamy results, use 12 oz pasta. Want it hearty? Go up to 16 oz.
