Instructions

1

Add diced onion, garlic, chicken breasts, cream cheese, marinara sauce, and seasonings into a cold crockpot.

Make sure the crockpot is cold before adding ingredients to prevent cracking.

2

Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours.

If your crockpot runs hot, check the chicken for doneness at 2 1/2 hours.

3

Once the chicken is cooked, remove and shred it, then return it back to the crockpot. Remove the bay leaves and stir to melt the cream cheese into the sauce completely.

4

Toss the sauce with freshly cooked pasta, garnish with fresh basil chiffonade, and serve.
