Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
8 ounces fettuccine pasta
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Place chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic, cubed cream cheese, and butter.
2. Pour heavy cream over the chicken mixture. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours.
3. Once the chicken is tender, shred it in the slow cooker using tongs or two forks.
4. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
5. Boil fettuccine pasta until al dente. Drain and add to the crock pot. Stir until pasta is well coated.
6. Top with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melt and flavor—avoid pre-shredded for smooth sauce texture.
Stir gently when adding pasta to avoid breaking the noodles.
Add steamed broccoli, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes in the last 30 minutes for extra flavor and nutrients.
