Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta Recipe
Description
Boneless skinless chicken breasts are seasoned and cooked in a crock pot with crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning for several hours until tender. After shredding the chicken, cooked rotini pasta and shredded mozzarella cheese are stirred in, followed by a topping of Parmesan cheese before continuing to cook until cheeses melt smoothly into the sauce.
The final step involves melting butter and sautéing bread crumbs to a dark brown color to provide a flavorful crunchy topping that contrasts with the creamy pasta. This dish combines the slow-cooked depth of the tomato and chicken sauce with the cheesy pasta for a comforting meal.
This recipe is ideal for hands-off preparation using a crock pot that tenderizes the chicken over a few hours. The crunchy breadcrumb topping adds a pleasant texture balance. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator safely for up to five days.
