Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Pour chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring it covers the meat. Add Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and minced garlic. Stir gently.
  3. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender.
  4. Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks, mixing it into the creamy sauce.
  5. Cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente, drain and set aside.
  6. Add the drained pasta to the crockpot, gently folding it into the sauce and chicken mixture.
  7. Stir in heavy cream or half-and-half, mixing well. Heat through for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Serve the pasta in bowls or plates, garnishing with parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
