Description
Creamy, cheesy, and loaded with savory garlic flavor, this Slow Cooker Parmesan Garlic Chicken Pasta is an easy, comforting meal perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.
Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle (12 oz) Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce
12 oz heavy whipping cream (use the sauce bottle to measure)
8 oz cream cheese, cubed
1½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese (divided)
16 oz pasta (spiral pasta or penne)
Instructions
-
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
-
Pour the entire bottle of Parmesan Garlic Sauce over the chicken.
-
Fill the empty sauce bottle with heavy whipping cream, shake well, and pour it into the slow cooker.
-
Scatter the cubed cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded Parmesan over the top.
-
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours.
-
Once the chicken is tender, shred it directly in the slow cooker.
-
Cook the pasta separately according to the package instructions, drain, and add it to the slow cooker.
-
Stir everything gently and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.
-
Let the pasta sit for 15–20 minutes to thicken before serving.
Notes
Double the recipe for larger crowds, using a bigger slow cooker.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
You can substitute pre-cooked shredded chicken; reduce cook time to just heating through.
Garnish with fresh parsley for an elegant touch.
