Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound uncooked penne or rigatoni pasta

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, brown chicken in butter in batches. Transfer to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the broth, heavy cream, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender.
  • Remove chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, shred with two forks. Keep warm.
