Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 can crushed tomatoes, 28 ounces
- 1 can tomato sauce, 15 ounces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces uncooked rotini pasta
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, tomato sauce, black pepper, and salt to the crockpot.
- Cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and shred it with two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream, rotini pasta, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cover and cook for 15 minutes on high or about 30 minutes on low, checking the pasta near the end.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the breadcrumbs and stir until they become golden and fragrant.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded mozzarella and toasted breadcrumbs.
- Let the mozzarella soften briefly, then serve hot.
Notes
- Store cooled leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- The pasta will absorb broth during storage, so add a splash of chicken broth, milk, or water while reheating.
- Store toasted breadcrumbs separately so they remain crisp.
- For firmer pasta in leftovers, cook the rotini separately and add it to each serving.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth if you prefer greater control over the salt level.
