Notes
- There's always room to add as much garlic as your heart desires. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
- You can use other kinds of pasta if your prefer.
- Many recipes make this with cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken and can use that if you prefer. You can also add in some sliced baby bella mushrooms if you'd like.
- Don't skip searing the chicken. Not only does it reduce the slow cook time, it also locks in flavor and gives the chicken a beautiful and delicious crust.
