There’s just something about a warm, creamy pasta that feels like a hug in a bowl, especially when the days start to cool down. I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe on Pinterest, and it’s quickly become a favorite in my kitchen. Packed with flavor and ridiculously easy to throw together, it’s a go-to for busy days when you need something comforting and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce
- 1.5 to 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (trimmed)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 8 oz cream cheese (cut into cubes)
- ¼ cup grated or shredded parmesan cheese
- 12 to 16 oz pasta (like rotini or penne, cooked to package directions)
Instructions
1. Prep the Chicken: Season your chicken with salt and pepper, then place it at the bottom of your crockpot or slow cooker.
2. Add Sauce & Milk: Pour the entire bottle of Parmesan Garlic Sauce over the chicken. Then, fill the empty bottle with milk, shake it up, and pour that into the crockpot as well. This way, you get every last drop of that creamy goodness!
3. Add Cheeses: Toss in the cream cheese cubes and parmesan. Stir to combine everything and cover the chicken with that deliciously creamy sauce.
4. Cook: Set your slow cooker to high for 2-3 hours or low for 3-4 hours, letting all those flavors come together perfectly.
5. Shred & Return: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it and shred it with two forks or dice it into bite-sized pieces. Add it back to the crockpot, letting it soak up more of that amazing sauce.
6. Pasta Time: Cook your pasta according to package directions, drain it well, and stir it right into the crockpot. Let it all come together for a few minutes, and you’re ready to serve!
Pair it with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad, and you’ve got a meal that’s comforting, satisfying, and oh-so-easy to make. This creamy garlic parmesan pasta is perfect for those cozy nights in, so I hope you love it as much as I do!
