SLOW-COOKER GOLDEN CHICKEN PASTA
Steps:
- Turn a slow cooker to low and coat it with cooking spray.
- Heat the oil and butter in a saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic. Increase the heat, cooking them until all the liquid is evaporated and the mushrooms are browned, working in batches if necessary. Add the vegetable broth and cook until the liquid is somewhat reduced. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Place the chicken, mushroom soup, cream cheese, dressing mix, black pepper and the mushroom mixture in the slow cooker and stir lightly to disperse the ingredients. Cover and cook all day, about 8 hours.
- Just before serving: Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
- Serve the chicken with the pasta and garnish with the Parmesan and parsley.
Tips:
- Use a slow cooker with a 4-quart capacity or larger.
- Brown the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Add the cream cheese and sour cream to the slow cooker in the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful sauce.
- Season the chicken and pasta with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve the creamy crockpot chicken with pasta with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad.
