Begin by tossing the chicken pieces in a bowl with salt and pepper to season.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the minced garlic until it becomes fragrant.
In your slow cooker, combine the chicken, melted garlic butter mixture, and chicken broth. Mix everything together well.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
About 20 minutes before the chicken is finished cooking, prepare the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Once the chicken is done, stir in the cooked bowtie pasta, ensuring it is well coated in the garlic butter sauce.
