Instructions

Place chicken in slow cooker and add broth, garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours or high for about 2-3 hours until chicken is fully cooked
Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with two forks
Add noodles, shredded cheese, cream cheese, and cream to slow cooker along with shredded chicken
Stir well to coat and combine noodles
Cover and cook on high for 30-60 minutes (stir once or twice during this time for best results)
Pasta is done when liquid is absorbed, and pasta is al dente - or softer if you prefer. Add more liquid if necessary (1/2 cup at a time). An extra splash of milk or cream before serving will make it really creamy.
Stir and serve immediately
