Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

    Combine Ingredients: In a 6-quart crockpot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, chicken pieces, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, and pasta. Stir well to combine.

      Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 4-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and the pasta is tender.

        Add Peas: About 30 minutes before serving, add the frozen peas to the crockpot. Stir to combine and allow to heat through.

          Finish with Cheese: Once the cooking time is up and the chicken is tender, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve: Scoop generous portions into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your creamy chicken and pea pasta!
