Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups (480ml) chicken broth

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

2 cups (300g) fresh or frozen peas

12 oz (340g) pasta (such as fettuccine or penne)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil into the bottom of your Crockpot, and place the seasoned chicken inside.

    Add Flavor: Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in a separate pan over medium heat until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add this mixture to the Crockpot.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and sprinkle the dried Italian herbs over the top. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

        Slow Cooking: Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

          Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the Crockpot. Use two forks to shred the chicken and return it to the pot, mixing it well with the creamy broth.

            Cook the Pasta: In a separate pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

              Combine Pasta with Sauce: Stir the cooked pasta and peas into the Crockpot, mixing everything well to coat the pasta with the creamy sauce. Allow it to heat through for about 10 minutes on the “keep warm” setting.

                Finishing Touches: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and taste, adjusting seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

                  Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy chicken and pea pasta hot!
