- Season with salt and pepper. Cover with lid and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours until chicken is tender.

Notes
Do not cook pasta in the crockpot—it gets mushy. Adjust sauce thickness with extra cream or broth if needed. Leftovers taste even better the next day. Try swaps like roasted red peppers for sundried tomatoes or coconut cream for dairy-free.
