Ingredients
  

1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups uncooked pasta (penne or fusilli recommended)

1 cup frozen peas

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the flavor.

    Layer the Ingredients: In the bottom of your crockpot, start by layering the finely chopped onion. Place the seasoned chicken pieces evenly over the onions, followed by the frozen peas on top. This layering helps enhance flavor infusion.

      Mix the Sauce: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning until smooth and well-blended. Pour this creamy mixture evenly over the chicken and peas in the crockpot.

        Cook: Secure the lid on the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The dish is ready when the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

          Add the Pasta: About 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve, gently stir in the uncooked pasta. If the mixture seems too thick, add a little more chicken broth to ensure the pasta cooks perfectly.

            Finish with Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked al dente, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and creates a rich, creamy texture. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

              Serve: Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch. Serve hot and savor every bite of your creamy chicken and pea pasta delight!
