Ingredient Notes:

• Chicken Breast -Boneless, skinless chicken breasts keep this recipe lean and tender. You can also substitute boneless chicken thighs for a richer, more forgiving option that stays extra moist.
• Italian Dressing – You can use either store-bought or homemade, depending on what you have on hand. 
• Cream of Chicken Soup – You can use regular or low-sodium versions depending on your preference. If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom or cream of celery will work just as well
• Cream Cheese – Softened cream cheese melts more smoothly into the sauce.
• Grated Parmesan Cheese – Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-shredded.
• Salt and Pepper – season to taste.
• Rotini Pasta – Rotini is perfect for this recipe because its spirals hold onto the creamy sauce. You can substitute with other short pasta shapes like penne, fusilli, or bowtie pasta if needed.

Directions:

Step One: Start off with placing chicken breast, dressing, cream of chicken soup, cubed cream cheese, and grated parmesan into your slow cooker.

Then add salt and pepper to season to taste.

Step Two: Once all your ingredients are in your slow cooker cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 3 hours.

You know it’s done once the chicken is cooked through.

When it is use for forks to pull and shred chicken.

Step Three: Last just cook pasta according to package directions.

Drain and then pour into the slow cooker and mix well with creamy chicken.
