6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 12 ounces Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Wing Sauce
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
- 4 ounces parmesan cheese shaved or shredded
- 16 ounces rotini pasta or preferred pasta choice
- Fresh parsley finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Slow Cooker Base:
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of a standard slow cooker or crock pot.
Add the Sauce and Cream Components:
- Pour the entire bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Wing Sauce over the chicken breasts. Next, fill the empty bottle with one cup of whole milk (or heavy cream), seal, and shake vigorously to collect any remaining sauce. Pour the contents into the slow cooker.
Incorporate Cream Cheese:
- Evenly distribute the cubed cream cheese over the top of the chicken and sauce mixture.
Slow Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 4 to 6 hours. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F and shred easily.
Shred the Chicken:
- Once fully cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.
Integrate Parmesan Cheese:
- Add the shredded or shaved parmesan cheese to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure it is fully melted and incorporated.
Prepare the Pasta:
- While the chicken and sauce mixture rests, cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly.
Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the cooked and drained pasta to the slow cooker. Gently fold the pasta into the chicken and sauce mixture until evenly coated.
Garnish and Serve:
- If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese before serving. Serve immediately.
