Description

Creamy Crockpot Chicken Pasta is a rich, comforting slow cooker dish made with tender chicken breasts, marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, rotini pasta, melted mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, creating a creamy, hearty family dinner packed with flavor.


Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb seasoning (or preferred seasoning blend)

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

• 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce

• 1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce

• 1 lb rotini pasta (or pasta of choice), cooked

• 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

• Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping

• Salt and black pepper, to taste


Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Season with onion and herb seasoning, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.

2. Add the Sauces

Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken. Add a small splash of water to the empty jar, swirl to loosen any remaining sauce, and pour that in as well.

Pour the Alfredo sauce on top. Do not stir.

3. Slow Cook

Cover and cook on:

◦ High for 3–4 hours, or

◦ Low for 4–5 hours

until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

4. Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the crockpot and roughly chop or shred it with two forks. Return the chicken to the sauce and stir to combine.

5. Add the Pasta

Stir in the cooked rotini until evenly coated in the sauce.

6. Finish with Cheese

Sprinkle Parmesan over the top, then add shredded mozzarella.

Cover with the lid for about 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely.

7. Serve

Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
