Servings: 6

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1 cup frozen corn
1 small onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried parsley
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 oz egg noodles or your favorite pasta
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Add chopped chicken, frozen vegetables, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add softened cream cheese in chunks so it melts gradually.
  4. Sprinkle in thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, stirring once or twice to prevent sticking.
  6. During the final 30 minutes of cook time, boil pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  7. Stir the cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese into the slow cooker until creamy and evenly mixed.
  8. Taste and adjust salt and pepper before serving.
  9. Garnish with extra parsley or a touch of hot sauce if desired.

Variations & Tips:

For a lighter option, substitute milk for heavy cream and use reduced-fat cream cheese. Rotisserie chicken makes for a great time-saver. Feel free to add mushrooms, spinach, or green beans for more color and nutrition. For added texture, top with buttery breadcrumbs or crispy bacon before serving.

Nutritional Insights & Dietary Considerations:

This dish delivers a satisfying balance of protein from the chicken, carbs from the pasta, and fiber from the veggies. The cream and cheese create a rich, velvety texture, though those watching their fat intake can opt for lighter dairy alternatives. This meal contains gluten and dairy but can be adapted for dietary needs with gluten-free pasta or dairy-free cream alternatives. It’s a comforting, well-rounded option for families, and leftovers reheat beautifully.
