Description

This Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is a delicious and easy weeknight dinner that combines tender slow-cooked chicken with creamy buffalo wing sauce, cream cheese, and Parmesan, served over perfectly cooked penne pasta. It’s a comforting and flavorful dish inspired by Buffalo Wild Wings’ Garlic Parmesan flavors that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (12 oz) jar Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic wing sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Pasta

  • 1 (16 oz) box penne pasta

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the bottom of the crockpot with non-stick spray or use a crockpot liner to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Add Chicken and Sauce: Place the three boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Pour the Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic wing sauce and heavy cream evenly over the chicken breasts.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Parmesan: Distribute the cubed cream cheese and shredded parmesan cheese over the sauce and chicken to create a rich and creamy base.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce in the crockpot and stir to combine.
  6. Cook the Pasta: While the chicken finishes cooking, prepare the penne pasta according to the package directions. Cook until al dente to avoid mushiness when mixed.
  7. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the drained pasta to the shredded chicken and sauce mixture in the crockpot and stir well to combine everything thoroughly.
  8. Serve: Serve the creamy garlic parmesan chicken pasta hot, accompanied by garlic bread for a perfect meal.

Notes

  • Kick Up The Spice: Add a dash of red pepper flakes or a pinch or two of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Use cream cheese at room temperature to prevent curdling in the crockpot.
  • Substitute for BWW Sauce: Mix Alfredo sauce with roasted garlic salad dressing as an alternative if you can’t find Buffalo Wild Wings sauce. Garlic parmesan sauce also works well.
  • Don’t Overcook Pasta: Cook the pasta just to al dente or slightly under to prevent it from becoming mushy after mixing with the chicken mixture.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat leftovers in a microwave-safe bowl for 1-2 minutes or until warmed through.
