Description
Crockpot Chicken Alfredo is a creamy and delicious pasta dish made with tender chicken breasts cooked to perfection in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or on High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (165°F/74°C).
- Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Meanwhile, cook fettuccine according to package directions in salted water. Drain (reserve 1/2 cup pasta water).
- Add cooked pasta to the slow cooker and gently toss to coat, loosening with a splash of reserved pasta water if needed for a silky sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken beforehand.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best results.
- Customize with your favorite vegetables like spinach or broccoli.
