Description
A simple and cozy slow-cooker chicken dish featuring garlic parmesan sauce, cream cheese, and tender chicken, served over pasta for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 jar garlic parmesan sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 8 oz pasta (like penne or rotini)
Instructions
- Place chicken in the crockpot in a single layer.
- Pour the jar of garlic parmesan sauce over the chicken.
- Add cream cheese on top.
- Cook on LOW for about 4 to 6 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours.
- Shred the chicken with forks and stir in grated parmesan until smooth.

Notes
Avoid overcooking the chicken to prevent dryness. Use thighs for juicier results. Adjust salt based on jarred sauce’s saltiness and use pasta water to loosen the sauce.
