Cooking
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks and stir to combine with the sauce.
  5. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and add the cooked pasta to the crockpot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop. For freezing, best to freeze only the chicken and sauce and add fresh pasta when serving.
