Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is a gluten free 5 ingredients dinner that the whole family will love.

This 5 Ingredient Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is the perfect comfort food that the whole family will love. The Garlic Parmesan Sauce paired with the creamy cheesy sauce comes together to make the easiest and most epic pasta ever!

There are two things I love cheese and garlic. I can’t get enough of either and anytime there is an option to put them together I’m sold. This recipe marries the zesty garlic parmesan sauce with cream cheese and a little more parmesan to make a winning combination. This recipe is so amazing it even became a viral Tik Tok recipe!!

Many readers told me they were surprised by the spiciness of the sauce I wanted to make a note of it in the very beginning letting you know this sauce does have a little spice and kick to it! I didn’t think it was spicy but if you are sensitive to heat cut the sauce in half or add sour cream at the end to tone it down.

Quick Dinner – Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

I’m always on the lookout for a simple recipe that is tasty and quick to prepare. Sometimes when you make recipes that are quick they lack in flavor and depth. This chicken is delicious, tender, and has tons flavor thanks to the Garlic Parmesean Sauce. Another delicious garlic chicken recipe is my one-pot Garlic Butter Chicken with Veggies. Like I said I love garlic!

Gluten Free Garlic Parmesan Sauce

The secret ingredient to this meal is the garlic parmesan sauce which is made by Buffalo Wild Wings and is used on their delectable wings. I just used it on chicken breasts instead. You can buy it on Amazon or Wal Mart, or Target. I did see that my grocery store also had a Garlic Parmesan Sauce in the salad dressing aisle so I’m sure you could easily swap that for this BDubs (Nickname for Buffalo Wild Wings) Sauce but I’m not certain it will be gluten free so please make sure and check the label for gluten. You could always make your own sauce and I found this recipe at The Spruce Eats.

Other Sauce Options that Readers have tried-

Great Value Garlic Parmesan Sauce– This is the Walmart version of the sauce. It is even spicer that the Buffalo Wild Wings Sauce.

Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta- Low Carb and Keto

This recipe is a great low-carb and keto choice. The sauce is filled with flavors from cheesy goodness and only has one gram of added sugar. I was so happy to find this low-carb sauce because I feel like it’s very hard to find packaged sauces that are low carb. They are usually packed with sugar. I served this over zoodles, which are zucchini noodles for my low carb hubby and he loved it. We have this zoodle maker which we use all the time. Or you can even buy zoodles at most grocery stores now in the produce department.

Different Ways to Serve Garlic Parmesan Chicken

One of the great parts of this dish is that it is very versatile. If you aren’t in the mood for pasta or don’t want to cook it there are some other ways to serve this meal which I will be making next time!

*Add chopped potatoes to the Crock Pot and cook with the chicken. Easy one-pot dinner!

* Serve shredded chicken on buns

Food Allergies-

Gluten Free

I make everything gluten-free in our house because my husband has celiac disease, which is when you are allergic to gluten. Our favorite pasta is the Gluten-Free Barillla Pasta line. I find that it is the best one at staying together while cooking and the taste is just like real pasta. I used the Barilla Gluten-Free Rotini for this recipe.

How to Make Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

Step 1- Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour an entire bottle of Parmesan Garlic Sauce over chicken.

Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

Need a new Crock-Pot? My favorite is this Crock Pot 7 quart Programmable Slow Cooker. First and foremost, I love being able to set the timer in case I’m not home when the food is finished cooking. The Crock-Pot just switches to warm until you are ready to eat. Plus you can lock the lid and just carry it to a party. Not only is it easy to carry but also you will never lose another Tupperware or serving dish again at a potluck party!

    My family loves this dish! It’s one of the few that all 5 are happy about! It stays in our regular rotation. What would you suggest for warming up leftovers to keep them from being dry?

      Hi Stacey! If I know I’m having it for leftovers I actually keep some chicken aside and don’t put the pasta until the night we eat it again. Otherwise, I would just add some milk to the pasta for reheating with leftovers.

    My picky family LOVES this recipe!!! I typically swap the milk for heavy cream if I have it on hand and it makes it even creamier. There is rarely left overs but when there is we use a tiny bit of butter when reheating it and it works wonders!

    I have not made this, but could you use a cooked rotisserie chicken shredded in place of chicken breasts as a shortcut way to make this? I am going to try this very soon as I don’t have the parmesan cheese for it.

      Hi Linda! Yes, you can use shredded chicken instead. You just want to make sure to get the sauce combined thoroughly. You can just cook it all on the stovetop for about 10-15 minutes or until the sauce consistency is to your liking. Then just add shredded chicken and cooked pasta.

    Hi, I am just wondering if the chicken is done cooking after 3-4 hours on low? Other recipes I have made have taken closer to 6-8 hours on low. Thanks!

      Hi Erica, I usually only need to cook my boneless skinless chicken for 4 hours at the most. Every crock pot is different so yours might be different. I recommend testing the chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure it is cooked to 165 degrees. If I cooked chicken breasts for 6-8 hours they might end up dry.

    What would be the cooking time if you used frozen chicken breasts?? We’ve made this recipe before and it’s delicious!! I just forgot to set out the chicken this time 😩

      Sorry I was traveling and didn’t get back to you in time. Hopefully, you figured it out. I usually add 2 hours to frozen chicken.
