A comforting and creamy chicken pasta dish made effortlessly in a slow cooker.
Combine the minced garlic, diced onion, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Dicing the onion finely ensures it cooks evenly and blends well with the sauce.
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and sprinkle the garlic-onion mixture over them.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning for maximum flavor.
Add the butter, milk, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.
Stir gently to combine the liquids without disturbing the chicken too much.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is tender.
For a quicker option, you can set the slow cooker to high and cook for 3-4 hours.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions during the last 20 minutes of the slow cooker time.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks, then stir in the cooked pasta.
Shredding the chicken allows it to mix thoroughly with the sauce, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
Serve the creamy chicken pasta warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese can enhance the dish's flavor.
