1 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes, (optional)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, onion powder, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.
Add the chicken into the bowl with the seasonings, then toss until well coated.
Arrange the chicken breasts into a 6-quart slow cooker.
Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken breasts and spread it evenly.
Add water into the jar of the marinara sauce, then pour it on top of the sauce.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid, then cook for about 3 hours on a high setting.
Use two forks to shred the chicken breasts into small pieces.
Add the heavy cream and pasta noodles. Make sure that the noodles are submerged in the sauce completely.
Cover the slow cooker again and cook for one more hour on a low setting. When the noodles are al dente, you are ready to serve.
Serve hot with garlic bread. Enjoy!
