Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in your slow cooker.

2. Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Pour this flavorful mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.

3. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker with the sauce.

5. Cook the Pasta: While the chicken simmers, cook the spaghetti or fettuccine according to package instructions until it reaches al dente (slightly firm to the bite).

6. Combine and Serve: Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the slow cooker. Toss the pasta with the creamy chicken sauce to coat it evenly.

7. Final Touches: Stir in the crumbled bacon for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the creamy chicken carbonara hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for an extra touch of color and freshness.
