Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

Chicken:
  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes with garlic basil oregano or add your own spices
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 15 oz tomato sauce
Pasta:
  • 2 cups low carb pasta dry, cooked according to package instructions
Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese shredded, extra for garnish if desired
  • 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup light cream cheese
  • 4 oz spinach
  • 8 tsp pesto to garnish - 1 tsp per serving

Instructions
 

  • Add chicken into slow cooker and cover with tomato sauce, crushed tomato, salt, pepper, garlic, and chicken broth. Cook on high for 3-3.5 hours, until chicken has an internal temp of 165 and is fork tender.
  • When chicken is almost done, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Once chicken is done, shred with two forks (or transfer to a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to quickly shred, just cover well to avoid any mess). Put back into crockpot.
  • Add greek yogurt, parmesan, light cream cheese, and spinach and mix well. Let cook on high for another 15-20 minutes or so, until spinach is wilted and you have a uniform, creamy sauce. Add pasta in and stir. Adjust salt/pepper to your liking and serve! Garnish with 1 tsp basil pesto and some fresh parmesan. Enjoy!
  • Let leftovers fully cool to room temp before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
