Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken breasts on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the slow cooker.
  3. Add the chopped green onions, minced garlic, drained canned tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil to the slow cooker.

  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, 2 egg yolks, and 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  8. Pour the cream mixture into the slow cooker and stir gently to combine with the tomato sauce and chicken.
  9. Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes to thicken the sauce and heat through.
  10. Meanwhile, cook 8 oz of fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
  11. Add the cooked fettuccine, 1 cup thawed frozen peas, and 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms to the slow cooker.
