Instructions

Add heavy cream, chicken broth, cream cheese, butter, and minced roasted garlic to the crock pot.
Place chicken breasts into the crock pot and season evenly with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and onion powder.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
About 30 minutes before the chicken is done, cook rigatoni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Shred the cooked chicken directly in the crock pot using two forks.
Stir in grated parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the crock pot and stir until evenly coated in the creamy Alfredo sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Cook pasta separately to prevent it from becoming overly soft.

If sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.

Use freshly grated parmesan for the smoothest sauce.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently over low heat or in short microwave intervals to prevent separation.

Freezing is not recommended due to the high dairy content.
