FAQ

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes! Chicken thighs work perfectly and actually stay juicier in the crockpot. They add a slightly richer flavor to the creamy sauce.

Should I cook the pasta before adding it to the crockpot?

Yes, it’s best to cook the pasta separately and stir it in during the last 15–20 minutes. This keeps it from getting too soft or mushy.

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?

You can! If you want a lighter version, use half-and-half or evaporated milk. It won’t be as rich, but it’ll still be creamy and flavorful.

What can I use instead of sun-dried tomatoes?

You can swap them with roasted red peppers or cherry tomatoes for a similar burst of flavor and color.

How long should I cook Tuscan Chicken Pasta in the crockpot?

Cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes! Use coconut cream or oat cream instead of heavy cream and skip the Parmesan or use a dairy-free alternative.
