Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs Substitute with chicken breasts if preferred.
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup chicken broth Homemade is ideal, store-bought works in a pinch.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Substitute with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • 4 oz cream cheese Cubed for a creamy sauce.
  • 2 tbsp butter Room temperature for even melting.
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced; fresh is best for more flavor.
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese Use high-quality cheese for the richest flavor.
  • 12 oz dry fettuccine pasta Can be replaced with gluten-free pasta.
  • 0.25 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese For garnish.
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley Chopped for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Place them in your slow cooker.
  2. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, cream cheese, butter, and minced garlic to the slow cooker. Do not add parmesan cheese yet.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. The chicken is ready when it is tender.
  2. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the cooker.
Pasta Preparation
  1. Boil salted water in a large pot. Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Mixing
  1. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese into the slow cooker sauce until melted and smooth. Add the cooked fettuccine and gently toss to coat.
  2. Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Top with extra parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Notes

For a creamier sauce, consider blending it with an immersion blender before adding fettuccine. Ensure to let it rest for enhanced flavor.
