A creamy and flavorful dinner delight!

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
• 12 oz penne pasta or any short pasta
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Add Broth and Cream: Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream over the chicken. Add the cubed cream cheese.
3. Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook:
   • On low for 4–6 hours
   • Or on high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender.
4. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
5. Cook the Pasta: Stir the uncooked pasta into the crockpot, ensuring it’s well-coated in the sauce. Cover and cook on high for another 20–30 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally.
6. Finish with Cheese: Add the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheeses melt and the sauce becomes creamy.
7. Serve and Garnish: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
