- 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- ½ pound raw boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 5 cups low sodium chicken broth (plus additional if needed)
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 ounces uncooked dry gemelli or penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
- Chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. In a 5-quart or larger slow cooker, stir together garlic, bell pepper, onion, crushed tomatoes, chicken breast, chicken broth, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Cook on low for 7 1/2 hours or on high for 3 1/2 hours.
3. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and use forks to coarsely shred. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
4. Stir in the uncooked pasta. Cook on high for 20-30 minutes longer or until the pasta is al dente.
5. Stir in butter, if using, for added richness. If the soup becomes too thick, add additional broth or water until desired consistency is reached and heat through.
6. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped basil or parsley.
Notes
Home Chef Tip: Stirring in butter at the end is optional but adds a rich mouthfeel.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add extra broth when reheating if needed.
