Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is the perfect family meal with plenty to share with someone else.  The crock pot makes it easy to prepare and it’s ready to eat when you are.

Since I started my blog ten years ago, many of my top viewed recipes are slow cooker recipes.  Today we are paying a visit to one I posted back in the early years of the blog.  This recipe makes a lot so it is the perfect thing to make when you need to take a meal to another family.

The chicken comes out moist and tender and then you just shred it.  A delicious sauce forms that you pour over the pasta and add the shredded chicken to.  I top it with some crispy bacon and freshly grated Parmesan cheese and you have a winner.
