How to make Crockpot Italian Chicken Pasta
Step 1: Into a cold crockpot, add the diced onion, garlic, chicken breasts, cream cheese, marinara sauce, and some seasonings. Put the lid on and set it to cook for 3 to 4 hours on high. I suggest starting checking the chicken for doneness at 2 1/2 hours.
Step 2: Take the chicken out of the pot when done and shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Add the cream cheese and stir well to melt it into the sauce.
Step 3: Before serving, toss with freshly cooked pasta. Enjoy!
