Ingredients
- 6 chicken breast halves
- 1 12-ounce bottle Lawry's Mesquite marinade
- 1 pound bacon, cooked and diced
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pepper
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for the top
- 1 pound small cut pasta, cooked and drained
- a few handfuls of frozen peas
Directions
-
Put the chicken breasts and the marinade in a crockpot. Cook until chicken is done – about 3-4 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low. When cooked, cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks.
-
In a large pan, combine the cream, pepper, butter, garlic and Parmesan cheese. Whisk over medium heat until combined and thickened.
-
Combine the pasta, bacon, chicken and sauce. Toss in the frozen peas and stir to combine everything. Pour into a baking dish (you might need 2 dishes, because this makes A LOT!), top with more Parmesan, and cook in a 350F oven until the cheese is melted.
