Ingredients

  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1.25 pounds chicken tenders (raw)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 25 oz marinara sauce (one jar)
  • 12 oz cream cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning*
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 lb pasta (I used Gemelli pasta noodles)
  • 1 tbsp basil (fresh, chiffonade for garnish (optional))

Directions

  1. 1

    Add diced onion, garlic, chicken breasts, cream cheese, marinara sauce, and seasonings into a cold crockpot.**

  2. 2

    Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours. If your crockpot runs hot, you might want to check the chicken for doneness at 2 1/2 hours.

  3. 3

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove, shred and return back to crockpot. At this point remove the bay leaves as well. Stir to melt cream cheese into sauce completely.

  4. 4

    Toss with freshly cooked pasta, garnish with fresh basil and serve.
