  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 16 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker (6-quart)

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour the chicken broth over the top.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
  4. Add the cubed cream cheese, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese to the crockpot. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Let it heat through for 15-20 minutes.
  5. While the sauce heats, cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain well. Add the cooked pasta to the slow cooker and toss to combine everything.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For the creamiest sauce, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream. Grating your own Parmesan cheese also prevents the sauce from becoming grainy.
Tip 2: To prevent the sauce from curdling, make sure to add all dairy ingredients at the end of the cooking process on low heat.
