Description

A set-it-and-forget-it comfort classic — tender shredded chicken in a rich, creamy sauce tossed with pasta. Perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 pieces cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz can)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 12 ounces penne or rotini pasta
  • 0.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Load the crock pot: Place 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour in 1 cup chicken broth and both cans of 2 pieces cream of chicken soup. Sprinkle over 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoons salt, and 0.5 teaspoons black pepper. Give the sauce a quick stir around the chicken.
  2. Low and slow cook: Place the lid on and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred.
  3. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot.
  4. Add cream cheese: Drop in the cubed 8 ounces cream cheese and stir it into the hot sauce. Replace the lid and cook on HIGH for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Cook the pasta: While the cream cheese melts, cook 12 ounces penne or rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  6. Combine and serve: Add the drained pasta to the crock pot and toss everything together until well coated. Serve hot, topped with 0.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of 2 tablespoons fresh parsley.
