Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 16 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Pro tip: If you’re out of heavy cream, a mixture of milk and half-and-half can work in a pinch. And if Parmesan isn’t your thing, Romano cheese can be a delightful substitute.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add the sautéed garlic, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the crockpot. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
- Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks.
- Add the uncooked fettuccine pasta to the crockpot and submerge it in the liquid. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
- Cook on high for an additional 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about opening the crockpot to a ready meal, especially one that fills your home with such an inviting aroma. It reminds me of my dad’s storytelling sessions in our tiny kitchen, where each dish was a testament to love and patience.
