🧾 Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
150g blue cheese (crumbled)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
2 cups pasta (penne or fettuccine works best)
¾ cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

🍳 Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Base

Start by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Season them with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic on top.

2. Build the Creamy Sauce

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Then add the crumbled blue cheese. Don’t worry about mixing too much at this stage—the slow cooker will do the work for you.
