Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breast
- ½ tsp each of salt and pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 24 oz Rao’s Marinara Sauce
- 15 oz Alfredo Sauce
- 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella
- 16 oz pasta of your choice (We love using Cellentani by Barilla)

- Dried parsley to garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Chicken
Start by placing 1 lb of chicken breast in your trusty crockpot.
Sprinkle it with ½ tsp each of salt and pepper for that perfect seasoning.
Add 1 tsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning, and ¼ tsp of red pepper flakes to infuse those delightful flavors.
Don’t forget the star of the show: 1 tbsp of minced garlic.
Step 2: Sauce It Up
Now, let’s give your chicken a luxurious bath of flavor.
Pour in 24 oz of Rao’s Marinara Sauce. The rich, authentic Italian taste will elevate your dish to the next level.
Add 15 oz of Alfredo Sauce for that creamy goodness that makes this recipe so special.
Step 3: Set It and Forget It
Step 4: Shred and Melt
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, take it out and cube it up.
Now, reintroduce the cubed chicken to the crockpot, and add in 1 cup of freshly shredded mozzarella cheese.
Continue cooking until the mozzarella cheese has melted into gooey, cheesy perfection or until you’re ready to dig in.
Step 5: Pasta Perfection
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
When everything is ready, it’s time to bring it all together. Add a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to your creamy chicken pasta for that extra layer of flavor.
