Ingredients

Ingredients (~9 servings)

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • 3 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp Better Than Bouillon chicken flavor
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 15 oz uncooked pasta such as penne

Instructions

  • Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray and add chicken breasts.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt over chicken.
  • Add butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, and Better Than Bouillon on top.
  • Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours until chicken reaches 165F internal temperature.
  • Remove chicken and shred with two forks.
  • Return shredded chicken to pot and stir in water, uncooked pasta, and parmesan cheese.

Notes

Cream cheese will look chunky initially but melts as it cooks. Sauce will look thin when water is added but pasta will absorb it during cooking.
