This easy crockpot dinner is rich, comforting, and perfect for busy days. Tender chicken breasts cook slowly with pasta and a creamy, cheesy herb sauce that soaks into every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
12 oz rotini pasta (uncooked)
2 cups chicken broth
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1\/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the uncooked rotini pasta evenly at the bottom. Pour the chicken broth over the pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Lay them on top of the pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, minced garlic, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 30 minutes before serving, stir gently to combine the pasta and sauce. If needed, add a splash of warm broth or milk to loosen the sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once done, shred the chicken slightly or leave whole, depending on preference. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
