Scale
Meats:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless, skinless chicken fillets
Dairy and Cheese:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 cup (100 grams) grated parmesan cheese
Pasta and Additional Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (140 grams) frozen peas (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Nestle the chicken fillets into the crockpot, distributing them uniformly across the base to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
- Whisk together the cream, broth, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a separate vessel until the mixture achieves a smooth, consistent texture with no visible lumps.
- Lavishly drench the chicken with the prepared sauce, making certain each piece is generously coated and swimming in the flavorful liquid.
- Secure the crockpot lid and allow the chicken to slow-cook on low temperature for 4-5 hours, transforming the meat into a tender, succulent canvas.
- Extract the chicken from the sauce and meticulously shred it using two forks, pulling the meat apart into delicate, bite-sized strands.
- Reintroduce the shredded chicken to the aromatic sauce, then gently fold in the fettuccine and frozen peas, submerging them completely to guarantee uniform cooking.
- Elevate the crockpot’s setting to high and continue cooking for an additional 30-40 minutes, monitoring the pasta’s progression to al dente perfection.
- Thoroughly incorporate all ingredients, creating a harmonious blend of creamy sauce, tender chicken, and soft pasta.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the surface, adding a vibrant burst of color and a subtle herbal freshness to complete the dish.
