For those who love a step-by-step tutorial here is one for you below!
Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Pasta Instructions:
Add 3-4 chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker
Then, on top, add 2 cans of cream of chicken.
On top of that, add 8 oz of cubed cream cheese.
Sprinkle on top the Italian Zesty Dressing seasoning. Remember, this is the dressing seasoning, not to be confused with actual salad dressing or Italian seasoning.
Pepper to taste if desired
Cook in slow cooker on low for 4 on high or 6 hours on low – do not lift lid
Once the chicken is done, grab a large pot, fill it with water, and bring it to a boil. Then, pour in 16 oz of egg noodles.
While noodles are cooking shred chicken in the slow cooker
Cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until done. Strain them and add the cooked noodles to the slow cooker with the shredded chicken.
Optional- reserve and add 1/4 cup of pasta water to the slow cooker
Just pour it right on top of the pasta in the slow cooker with the chicken.
Once combined, let it all set in the slow cooker for 5-10 minutes to combine well, and then serve.
Now it is ready to serve up with a side salad like we do
Side Idea:
You can also enjoy this meal without the noodles and serve it over mashed potatoes or rice. Using a slow cooker liner with this meal makes for easier clean-up! Pair this meal with a side salad, steamed broccoli, fresh fruit, and a crusty roll for an epic comfort food meal. If you want to cut down on sodium, use reduced sodium condensed soup, make your own, or use one can and substitute the second can with 10 oz of water.

Crazy Busy Mama Tip:
Try this tip! Save 1/4 a cup of pasta water and add to slow cooker with noodles once they are cooked. Adding this starchy pasta water helps to combine all the flavors together.

This was soooo yummy and super easy! It was definitely a hit with the whole family!
This was the first thing I saw from crazy busy mama! I have a screen shot of this recipe in my favorite photos folder. I’ve made this several times since then. I think maybe the pickiest kid would eat this. It’s good. It’s easy. And you don’t need a ton of ingredients.
Yummy dinner! My family loved it!
Easy and delicious
Tonight, I made the zesty chicken and noodles recipe, and it was a huge hit! I used farfalle pasta, which worked perfectly for holding the creamy, flavorful sauce. To elevate the dish even more, I added a touch of herbes de Provence, granulated onion, and a dash of pepper for extra
depth. The result was a comforting, delicious meal that came together quickly—ideal for a busy weeknight. The zesty sauce was balanced and vibrant, with just the right amount of kick. This recipe is definitely a keeper in our household, and I can’t wait to make it again!
Love love this recipe!
Will definitely have this often for dinner.
Family loved this simple dinner. Thank you
I was just looking for an easy recipe for tomorrow night. This is it!!
I made this last night. It was absolutely delicious! (Almost “too” good for how simple it is) My 13 year old son enjoyed it. He is our picky eater, so to see him clean his plate made me happy. I will definitely make this again.
A clean plate for a picky eater is definitely a win! So glad y’all loved it!
