  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the chopped vegetables until they soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the sautéed vegetables with cream cheese and eggs, stirring until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  4. Add the Chicken and Cheese: Fold in cooked, shredded chicken and sprinkle in the shredded cheese, along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Incorporate the Pasta: Gently stir in the uncooked pasta, ensuring it’s coated in the creamy mixture.
  6. Transfer to the Slow Cooker: Pour the mixture into a greased slow cooker, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  7. Cook Until Perfect: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the pasta is tender.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, gently stir the casserole before serving to combine the layers. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then dish up your creamy, comforting pasta.
