Ingredients
12 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or bowtie work best)
2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 bottle (16 oz) creamy Italian dressing
2 cups water or chicken broth
Instructions
Add the uncooked pasta to the slow cooker.
Pour in the creamy Italian dressing and water (or chicken broth).
Add the cooked chicken and stir well to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, stirring once halfway through to prevent sticking.
When the pasta is tender and the sauce is creamy, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover again and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
Serving Tips
Garnish with chopped parsley or basil for a fresh touch.
Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli for extra flavor and color.
Serve with garlic bread or a simple green salad.
