  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, or HIGH for 3-4.
  • Using tongs, transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a cutting board. Shred using either two forks or meat claws. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring to evenly combine.
  • Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package instructions, strain it, then add it to the crockpot. Stir until everything's evenly incorporated.

  • Serve warm & enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure you are using both full fat cream cheese and whole milk. Using lower fat dairy products will give you a sauce that isn't as creamy.
  • Avoid thinner pasta or small pasta like ditalini as the sauce works best with a sturdier pasta.
  • The sauce will thicken the longer the pasta sits. If it thickens too much, stir in some milk before reheating.
  • Add a little a veggie action and toss in some broccoli florets about an hour prior to serving.
