Description
An easy and delicious way to enjoy a creamy Italian classic with minimal effort, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 360 minutes or high for 180 minutes.
- About 30 minutes before serving, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions.
- Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks.
- Stir the shredded chicken back into the sauce and add the cooked pasta.
- Mix well to combine and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in Italian herbs for a few hours before cooking. You can replace the fettuccine with any pasta of your choice. For a thicker sauce, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes. Adding broccoli or spinach in the last hour of cooking boosts nutrition.
