Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker; pour the bottle of Italian dressing over the chicken; top with the Parmesan cheese; place the cream cheese on top. Cover.

Cook on Low for 6 hours or on High for 4 hours. The chicken is ready when the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breasts are 165 degrees F.

Just before the chicken is done, cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain; set aside.

When the chicken is done, shred it using 2 forks, being careful not to over shred it. There should be some large chicken pieces to enjoy with the pasta.

Add the cooked pasta to the chicken and the sauce in the slow cooker; stir to combine.

Serve immediately garnished with freshly chopped parsley and more Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.

8 servings.
