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)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a crock pot in a single layer.
Step 2
Sprinkle the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Step 3
Pour the chicken broth into the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is partially submerged.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
Step 6
Turn the crock pot to high heat. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until combined.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to coat it in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 9
While the chicken is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with butter.
Step 10
To serve, place a portion of pasta on each plate and top with the creamy chicken mixture. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Step 11
Enjoy your Crock Pot Chicken Over Pasta!
