1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups chicken broth
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup pasta (small shapes like rotini or ditalini work great)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
1/2 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
Fresh basil or parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
Add to Crock Pot:
In your Crock Pot, add chicken breasts, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Shred Chicken:
Remove the chicken, shred it using two forks, and return it to the soup.
Add Pasta & Cheeses:
Stir in the uncooked pasta, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and half-and-half. Cover and cook on high for an additional 20–30 minutes, or until pasta is tender and cheese is melted.
Serve:

Tips:
Want a veggie boost? Add spinach or chopped zucchini during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
For extra protein, swap in chicken thighs or use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
