• Only requires minimal prep and minimal effort
• Uses everyday ingredients
• Budget-Friendly – Pasta is inexpensive.

Tools Needed

Ingredient Notes

• Chicken breast – I used cubed skinless boneless chicken breasts but you can use chicken breast with the skin on.
• Chicken broth – feel free to use vegetable broth instead.
• Seasoning – this calls for garlic and onion powders which means no having to fry items before cooking. You also need Italian seasoning but you can use other seasoning to your taste.
• Pasta sauce – go with whichever is your favorite pasta sauce. If this is already seasoned you might need to reduce the seasoning.
• Cheeses – the cream cheese and grated cheese are optional but really add creaminess. I used grated cheddar or mozzarella but use whichever you like.

3. Change the settings to high and add in the cheeses, cover and cook for 15 or so minutes until the cheeses melt.

Tips For Success

• If you cook the pasta well in advance, add a little bit of olive oil so it does not stick.
• Don’t leave this warming in the crockpot all day as the pasta will over cook.
