FAQS:

How do I store Crock Pot garlic parmesan chicken pasta?

  • Allow the pasta to cool down to room temperature before storing it. This helps prevent bacterial growth.
  • Transfer the pasta to an airtight container or individual meal prep containers.
  • Place the container(s) in the refrigerator. The pasta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • When you’re ready to reheat the pasta, you have a few options:
    • Microwave: Transfer the desired portion to a microwave-safe dish and heat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
    • Stovetop: Heat the pasta in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it’s heated evenly.

What substitutions could I make?

If you’re looking to make substitutions in Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta, here are a few options:

  1. Chicken: You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs or even diced chicken tenders. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as thighs may take slightly longer to cook than breasts.
  2. Pasta: The recipe suggests using penne pasta, but you can substitute them with other types of pasta like rotini, fettuccine, rigatoni, or farfalle (bowtie pasta). Use whatever pasta shape you prefer or have on hand.
  3. Cheese: While Parmesan cheese adds a distinct flavor to the dish, you can experiment with other types of cheese. For example, you can substitute some or all of the Parmesan cheese with shredded Romano cheese, or a blend of Italian cheeses. This can add a different flavor profile to the dish while still maintaining the creamy texture.

Remember that substitutions may alter the taste and texture of the dish, so it’s best to experiment and adjust according to your preferences.

What should I serve with slow cooker garlic parmesan chicken pasta?

When serving Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta, you can pair it with various side dishes to create a well-rounded meal. Here are some options to consider:

  1. Salad: A fresh and crisp salad can provide a refreshing contrast to the creamy pasta. Consider serving a simple green salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette. Alternatively, a Caesar salad with homemade dressing and croutons can complement the flavors of the pasta.
  2. Steamed Vegetables: Add some nutritious steamed vegetables to your meal. Broccoli, asparagus, green beans, or carrots are all excellent choices. Lightly season the vegetables with salt and pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
  3. Garlic Bread or Breadsticks: Garlic bread or breadsticks are a classic accompaniment to pasta dishes. You can make your own garlic bread by spreading garlic butter on a baguette or bread slices and toasting them until golden and fragrant. Alternatively, store-bought garlic bread or breadsticks are convenient options.
  4. Roasted Vegetables: Roasting vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor. Try roasting a mix of vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and onions. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast them in the oven until tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Garlic Sauteed Spinach: Sautéed spinach provides a nutritious and flavorful side dish. Heat olive oil in a skillet, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Then, add fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Feel free to mix and match these side dishes based on your preferences and the preferences of your guests. These options provide a range of flavors, textures, and nutritional elements that complement the creamy and savory Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta.
