Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Pasta is made in the crockpot for a super simple dinner that can be enjoyed any night of the week. Pair with steamed broccoli or a side salad and have dinner on the table with no fuss.
Just like the popular Crockpot Olive Garden Chicken and Pasta, this Parmesan Chicken Pasta is made easy by being seasoned with a bottle of sauce and a block of cream cheese.
This recipe uses parmesan garlic sauce, either from B-dubs or any brand, but the result is the same- a deliciously creamy pasta dish that is loaded with flavor.
I love this dish for another reason- it's a fast crockpot dish! While slow cookers great for slow cooking (obviously), this dish can be done in less than 3 hours, but is completely hands off.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Minimal ingredients
- Filling and satisfying
- Super simple to prepare and no chopping and only minutes of hands on time.
Ingredients
- Boneless skinless Chicken Breasts- Cooking them in the crockpot is so easy because at the end of the cooking process they shred ultra easily with a fork.
- Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce- You can use Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce or any other brand. Their tastes may vary slightly, but overall they will be similar. I like to use the one from Noble Made, because I like the ingredients.
- Cream Cheese- I like to use full fat cream cheese in most of my recipes, but reduced fat will work.
- Parmesan Cheese- Freshly grated parmesan cheese will be best here, but the kind from the green can will work too!
- Pasta- While you can cook the pasta in with the rest of the dish by adding more broth, the texture is better in my opinion by cooking it separately.
- Chicken Stock- This helps everything cook evenly in the crockpot as well as thin out the sauce a little bit so that it coats the pasta more evenly.
Variations
Make it Spicy- Add a teaspoon or two of crushed red pepper flakes to make this pasta dish spicy.
