Below is a detailed step-by-step guide to creating this mouthwatering meal right in your slow cooker.
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra tenderness)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional but adds depth)
- 8 ounces uncooked penne or rotini pasta
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
🍳 Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker Base
Start by spraying the inside of your slow cooker with a light layer of non-stick cooking spray. This helps prevent the creamy sauce from sticking and makes cleanup much easier later.
Then, add in your chicken breasts (no need to cut them yet). Pour in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, onion, garlic, and seasonings — Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
Stir gently to combine the ingredients and ensure the chicken is coated well with the creamy mixture.
Step 2: Slow Cook the Chicken
Cover the slow cooker and cook the mixture:
- On Low: 6–7 hours
- On High: 3–4 hours
This slow cooking process infuses the chicken with flavor and ensures it becomes perfectly tender and easy to shred.
