Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

  3. Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.

  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. Add the uncooked pasta to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli florets or spinach during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference.
