Instructions

Season both sides of the chicken with the All Purpose Seasoning. Place the chicken, onion, mushrooms, chicken stock, wine and thyme in a crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

When the chicken is almost done, prepare the pasta according to package directions but undercook it slightly (by 1-2 minutes). Drain pasta and set aside.

Once chicken is cooked through, remove the meat and shred into bite sized pieces using 2 forks. Add the chicken back to the crock pot and stir in the cream.

Add cooked pasta to the crock pot, carefully stirring to combine everything. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 minutes or until heated through.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sear the Chicken First 🔥
Brown the chicken breasts in a hot skillet before adding to the slow cooker to develop a flavorful crust and lock in juices, elevating the overall depth of your sauce.
Add Pasta Late in Cooking ⏱️
Stir in the penne during the last 30-45 minutes of cooking rather than at the start to prevent mushiness and maintain al dente texture in your finished dish.
Cream Addition Timing 🥛
Pour in the heavy cream in the final 15 minutes of cooking and stir gently to prevent curdling and ensure a silky, luxurious sauce consistency.
Deglaze with Wine Wisely 🍷
Use your white wine to deglaze the seared chicken pan before transferring to the slow cooker, capturing all the caramelized flavor bits for a richer broth foundation.
Use Fresh Mushrooms, Add Late 🍄
Add sliced fresh mushrooms in the last 20 minutes of cooking to preserve their meaty texture and earthy flavor rather than stewing them for hours until mushy.
