1 tbsp minced garlic
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained (or fire-roasted for extra depth)

Directions:
Prepare the Chicken: Place the diced or shredded chicken breast in the bottom of the crockpot.

Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic, drained diced tomatoes, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, heavy cream, and smoked paprika. Stir until well mixed.
Combine: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and pasta in the crockpot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the pasta is tender.
