The BEST Slow Cooker Crack Chicken Pasta
OK, guys. Do you need an easy dinner recipe that is seriously as easy as it gets and about as delicious as they come?! This crack chicken pasta is just that AND, if I were a betting girl, I’d bet that this will quickly become a go-to recipe for your family as it’s not only the easiest dinner ever (no, seriously), but it’s so, so, so good. It’s a lot like my crack chicken sandwiches but it’s a pasta.
I’m a huge fan of the crock pot. The crock pot allows me to go into the evening calmer than the nights usually are (hey, I’m just being honest). Usually I get some pretty decent sized anxiety around 4pm trying to dream of what I can whip up in an hour that my whole family will love.
And, let’s be honest, the internet LOVES the flavors of crack chicken dip, crack chicken seasoning, crack chicken tenders …. well, just about crack chicken anything! And, I am sorry, I hate the name too, but because the internet loves it and I’m on the internet, I love it too. No, I wouldn’t jump off a bridge if someone told me to, but I’m all about going with the trends. 😉
Anywho, here goes – my new favorite dinner – crack chicken pasta in the crock pot!
How to make this Slow Cooker Crack Chicken Pasta recipe:
Grab all of your ingredients and get them together of course – that’s what every good cook does, right (I’m being totally sarcastic!) I never do this, but I’d love to be this organized, so big kudos to you if you are!
First you’re going to combine all of your wet ingredients and chicken, leaving out only the pasta, cheese and bacon pieces. Combine all of these in the crock pot (this is my absolute FAVORITE crock pot here and it’s on sale, whoop, whoop!!)
Cream all of these ingredients together and whip that puppy up. Let it cook on high for three hours. You’re basically letting these flavors all come together and blend. You’re also getting the liquid hot enough to then cook the pasta once you pop that in.
Once this has gotten up to the right temp after three hours, add the pasta. Yes, uncooked (I promise — this is what makes this magical — because then you will literally stir, and walk away) Yes — Have I mentioned how much I really really really LOVE my slow cooker? Honest to goodness. Best thing since sliced bread. 
After 20 minutes, give the pasta combo a quick stir, put the cover back on, and then stir again after ten minutes or so. Give it another good stir and top with cheese and bacon pieces – And let that cheesy amazingness melt for 5 minutes or so – you’re literally watching dinner be made, but not by you! Ha — LOVE it!
Next, well, enjoy! This makes enough for about 6 servings.
