Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta Recipe Tips for Success
- Toss the ingredients in the crockpot.
This recipe is super easy to get started! Just toss the ingredients in the crockpot, set it on low, and let it cook.
- Let the chicken rest to make it juicier.
Tent the chicken with aluminum foil for 10 minutes after removing it from the crockpot. This keeps it juicy.
- Coat the pasta with the sauce.
Let’s get saucy! Toss the pasta in the sauce in the slow cooker to make it smooth and glossy. Then serve it with the chicken.
TFN Pro Tip
Cook this recipe on low in the slow cooker. As chicken breasts are low in fat, they tend to dry out easily when slow cooking. Using a lower temperature helps your chicken stay moist and juicy.
Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta FAQs
Can I freeze crock pot parmesan garlic chicken?
Yes, this is a great dish to freeze and save for later. Remember to label and date the container so you remember what you’ve saved later.
What kind of pasta is best to make garlic parmesan chicken pasta?
We love using fettuccine, but you can use any pasta you like best – long or short. This is a very versatile dish!
Why is my garlic parmesan chicken in a mushy?
If the dish is softer than you’d like it to be, it’s possible the pasta was overcooked. Be sure to cook it until it’s just cooked through or even slightly undercooked before tossing it with the chicken and sauce.
