Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo

  1. In a large slow cooker, place the chicken breasts. The chicken breast should be covered with the chicken broth and heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, cubes of cream cheese, and sliced butter.
  2. Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook the chicken on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Place the chicken on a large plate after taking it out of the slow cooker. In the slow cooker, whisk the sauce until it is smooth. Add the chicken back to the slow cooker after shredding it with forks.
  4. The Parmesan cheese and the raw rigatoni should be added. Cover the slow cooker once more with the lid, and cook the pasta on high for 30 minutes or until tender.
  5. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
