Yield :    8 servings

Prep Time :   25 mins

Cook Time : 360 mins

Total Time : 385 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup chicken broth
• ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
• ½ tsp. garlic powder
• ¼ tsp. onion powder
• ½ tsp. dried leaf oregano
• ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1½ tsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 small white onion diced
• Add at the end:
• 1 lb. fettuccine noodles cooked according to package directions
• 2 cups heavy cream
• ¾ cup parmesan cheese divided

Instructions

• Add the chicken broth to the slow cooker, add the cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir.
• Add the chicken breasts and flip them around in the seasoned chicken broth to get the seasonings on the chicken.
• Sprinkle the onions over the chicken and broth.
• Cover and cook on low for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
• After the cooking time is done, add the heavy cream and shred the chicken with 2 forks right in the slow cooker.
• Add the cooked and drained pasta and a ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese. Stir.
• Sprinkle over the remaining parmesan cheese. I added a touch more paprika and also parsley flakes to the top of my pasta to make it look pretty. Cover and cook for 20 more minutes. Cooking for a bit longer helps the sauce thicken from the gluten in the pasta.
