Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced into bite-sized pieces

8 oz (225g) pasta (penne or fusilli are ideal choices)

1 cup frozen peas

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, ensuring it's well coated.

    Combine Ingredients: In a 6-quart crockpot, layer in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Then add the seasoned chicken pieces followed by the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, and pasta. Stir all the ingredients together until they are evenly combined.

      Cook: Secure the lid on the crockpot and cook on the low setting for approximately 4-5 hours. You'll know it's ready when the chicken is cooked through and the pasta is tender.

        Add Peas: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas. This allows them to heat through without becoming overcooked.

          Finish with Cheese: Once cooking is complete, give the mixture a good stir before adding the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until it is melted and creates a creamy texture. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with any additional salt and pepper as needed.

            Serve: Ladle generous portions of the creamy chicken and pea pasta into bowls. Garnish each portion with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
