Best Chicken Pasta in the Crockpot Honestly, this is one of the best slow-cooker pasta recipes we had in a while and I have tested many!! It is creamy and flavorful but not overpowering. My

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds about 3, skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 envelope (0.6 oz. Zesty Italian dressing)
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz. condensed cream of chicken)
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • 4 oz half a block cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 box (16 oz. cooked pasta. I used bow ties)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker liner.

  2. 2

    Poke each breast with a fork 3 to 4 times.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the zesty Italian dressing on the chicken breasts.

  4. 4

    Add the condensed cream of chicken and chicken broth.

  5. 5

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

  6. 6

    30 minutes before the end of the cook, place your cream cheese on the counter. I have noticed if I bring my cream cheese to room temperature it will melt more evenly in the broth/cream.

  7. 7

    Cook your pasta according to the directions on the package.

  8. 8

    Once the chicken has reached 165 degrees F shred the chicken using 2 forks.

  9. 9

    Add the cream cheese to the broth and cover for 10 extra minutes or until the cheese is melted.

  10. 10

    Add the cooked pasta to the slow cooker. Mix to coat the pasta.

    Serve immediately and Enjoy!
