Slow Cooker Crack Chicken Pasta
OK, guys. Do you need an easy dinner recipe that is seriously as easy as it gets and about as delicious as they come?! This crack chicken pasta is just that AND, if I were a betting girl, I’d bet that this will quickly become a go-to recipe for your family as it’s not only the easiest dinner ever (no, seriously), but it’s so, so, so good. It’s a lot like my crack chicken sandwiches but it’s a pasta.
I’m a huge fan of the crock pot. The crock pot allows me to go into the evening calmer than the nights usually are (hey, I’m just being honest). Usually I get some pretty decent sized anxiety around 4pm trying to dream of what I can whip up in an hour that my whole family will love.
Cream all of these ingredients together and whip that puppy up. Let it cook on high for three hours. You’re basically letting these flavors all come together and blend. You’re also getting the liquid hot enough to then cook the pasta once you pop that in.
