This is my favorite Italian dinner



I make a chicken pasta in my crockpot.

All right so that was my two jars of marinara and Alfredo now I’m going to grab one pound of chicken breast and we are going to put that right into our sauce this is all in my crock pot this is going to be so delicious and so easy oh yeah that looks

Amazing now I’m going to go in with my black pepper ahead and open that up get a nice little sprinkle just measure with your heart I like a lot of seasoning with this dish but you can use less if you’re a little intimidated by the seasoning now I’m going to grab my salt

I just have this little salt so I’m just going to pour it in my hand we don’t need too much and just sprinkle it in there beautiful okay I have some Italian seasoning because this is going to be an Italian Dish so easy just set it and

Forget it in your crock pot I love making this dinner on a weekday when I don’t have time to cook after work okay we have some onion powder here and we’re going to sprinkle that right on there you just set it in the morning and then

It’s ready by the time you get home okay we’re going to do some crushed red pepper now if you don’t like it spicy SP it’s optional but I like it spicy oh yeah it just adds the best little punch to this dinner woo this smells amazing

You guys okay that is it I’m going to go ahead and take those same tongs and kind of just like mix around those chickens flip them over get those two sauces mixed together I know I said two jars I meant one jar of each so two jars total

Hope that wasn’t confusing for anyone but let’s get everything nice and Blended oh look how creamy that looks okay that looks delicious now I’m going to go ahead and grab my crock poot lid and we’re going to pop this on high all right it’s been 3 hours on high

Now if you wanted to have this cook all day you could do it 8 hours on low so you can set it in the morning and it’s ready when you get home from work but let’s go ahead and check this out ooh it looks so good it’s like bubbling yeah

Okay now we want to shred that chicken so I have my hand mixer here and we’re going to go ahead and turn this on and be careful babe you’re in the Splash Zone oh shoot you’re going to be using that to shred the chicken yeah hopefully all

Right save time do it this way if you want to you know keep it clean just take them out and shred it you could also just chop it up but I love shredded chicken it’s probably my favorite way to eat chicken it is shredding so nicely that’s such a cool technique where where

Did you learn that technique um on the internet nice yeah I love do that okay I feel like that looks just about ready there’s a few little chunks I want to get extra shredded beautiful oh my God that looks delicious look at all that steam in there that

Looks phenomenal okay let’s put that back now we’re going to add some garlic garlic into this some minced garlic just going to add a little it’s okay if you get the juices in there that’s the best part right yeah it tast perfect we’re going to add some parsley

Flakes beautiful and now for the best part we have some pasta it’s going to go right in there already pre-boiled pasta let’s go ahead and give that a mix oh my goodness chicken pasta we have the Alfredo the marinara oh my gosh it’s only missing

One thing I was about to say I feel like it’s missing something what do you think it’s missing what is it missing something gooey Ooey and delicious all right so we are going to add a cup of mozzarella which is half a bag but you know what I’m going to use a

Little bit more than half a bag save a little bit for something else and then parmesan we’re just going to do a nice sprinkle that beautiful I did keep my crock pot on warm so this cheese should just melt with all that heat and that steam so we

Can make it extra creamy and delicious honestly this pasta is delicious even without the cheeses but I love a good mozzarella and Parmesan with any Italian Dish you could even use an Italian blend and just get the one bag and pour it all in here so you don’t have to get two

Separate bags but this is looking really good and it kind of just thickened up that sauce a little bit Yeah like what the heck I had no clue what what this was going to turn out to be but I’m so happy oh yeah this is better than the

Olive Garden okay let’s give this a try okay let’s get a big scoop oh my god look how oh look at that cheese oh need some more noodles I barely got any noodles that was all Chicken in there chicken and cheese oh my goodness I didn’t even add that much cheese in

There you guys usually I would put the whole bag in there I would have okay that looks so good oh my gosh okay get a little bit of the chicken at the cheese dang there I know I’m sorry guys I don’t mean to be messy but sometimes

It just happens if you’re not making a mess in the kitchen you’re not doing it right is it good this is the best pasta I’ve ever had in my life you guys have to try it have to necessity try it you guys

  1. My mom was Italian. I miss her cooking. I am going to try this, but i think im gonna add a container of ricotta cheese. Yummy

  2. Definitely not an Italian meal but I guess if it satisfies your family’s taste then so be it. And yes I would’ve use ricotta cheese.

  3. I love that she is teaching herself to cook for her family and excited to do it and share it p! I'm sure NICE cooking tips from experienced cooks would be welcome 😁Great ingredients and great for busy families or people who just struggle with the whole cooking thing.

  4. I've got this in my crock pot now! But I added my pasta uncooked, a cup of whole milk, a half of a chopped white onion, and two handfuls of baby spinach…. I can't wait to try it!

  5. This is huge hit of a recipe! Thank you🙂 Instead of the other cheeses- I used a half of a container of low fat ricotta- This is really great comfort food on a dark dreary winter day. Thank you again for your recipes that give me much needed inspiration💖

  6. I can imagine that Italian food is tasty, with their world famous pizza. This dish looking delicious.Thank you🙏.

  7. What are the name of the our crock pot and mixer? Mine is a black and decker and it seems to take forever to cook something.???

  8. Justine, I can see the day, many decades from now, when 'Justine's Kitchen' is physically removed with utmost care to be placed in the Smithsonian Museum. The world will know your name. Yes!! Your approach & style is the biggest breath of fresh air in cooking since the debut of Julia Child. This is no joke, no sarcasm. *Thanks so much for all that you create & share!. You're making our world a more delicious place with each recipe you design. 💝

  9. I made this with spicy italian sausages instead of chicken. I pre browned the sausages for three minutes before adding them to the slow cooker. Wonderful. Thank you Justine for a fantastic recipe!
