Serves
8 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup pasta sauce of choice
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or grated
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces pasta, uncooked
Method
- Add the chicken breasts, diced tomatoes, pasta sauce, chicken broth, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the crockpot.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
- Stir in the uncooked pasta. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Cooking time may vary depending on the type of pasta used.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and heavy whipping cream.
- Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy and well combined.
- Serve warm with additional Parmesan cheese on top, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Pasta: Rotini, penne, shells, bowties, or another short pasta shape all work well.
- Watch the pasta: Begin checking the pasta around the 20-minute mark to prevent it from becoming too soft.
- For a thinner soup: Add an extra splash of chicken broth after the pasta has cooked.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
- Reheating: The pasta will absorb broth as it sits, so add a little additional chicken broth when reheating if needed.
- Meal-prep tip: If making the soup ahead of time, consider cooking the pasta separately and adding it to individual portions. This helps keep the pasta from becoming overly soft.
