A creamy and cheesy chicken pasta dish cooked in a slow cooker for convenience and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups penne pasta
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until well combined. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes and penne pasta on top of the chicken and soup mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
