# How to Make It:

Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours or on low for 6–7 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds.
04 -
Carefully shred the chicken directly in the crockpot with two forks. Stir in the milk and mix until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
05 -
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Add the cooked pasta to the chicken mixture in the crockpot. Toss gently to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
07 -
Portion the garlic parmesan chicken pasta onto plates or into bowls. Serve warm and enjoy.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For best results, use freshly grated parmesan cheese and rotini pasta. To prevent the pasta from becoming mushy, cook it separately and add just before serving.
