Equipment
- 1 slow cooker 5 quart or larger
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
- black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 9.2 ounce bottle of Nando's Peri-Peri Sauce
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz. full-fat cream cheese
- grated parmesan cheese for garnish
- 12 oz. cooked pasta do not add to slow cooker
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker and season them with black pepper and dried oregano. Drop a bay leaf in there and add the bottle of Nando's sauce, chicken broth, and cream cheese. Cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and 165 degrees. Shred the chicken into chunks and stir the sauce, breaking up the cream cheese until the sauce is smooth. Taste for any needed salt or pepper.
- I do not like adding my pasta to the sauce, I put pasta in individual bowls and pour the chicken and sauce over the pasta (see notes). Garnish with some parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy!
