Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts about 4 breasts
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese cut into cubes
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta cooked separately
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to ensure an easy cleanup.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Layer the cream cheese cubes, heavy cream, and chicken broth over the chicken.
  4. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper on top.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours (or on high for 2-3 hours) until the chicken is tender and can be easily shredded.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. About 20 minutes before serving, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta well.
  9. Toss the hot pasta with the creamy chicken mixture so that every bite is well coated.
  10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

This Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo is a comforting, make-ahead dinner ideal for busy evenings. You can easily customize it by swapping heavy cream for half-and-half or adding extra veggies like broccoli or mushrooms. The slow cooker melds the flavors beautifully, and tossing the freshly cooked pasta with the creamy sauce ensures every bite is delicious. Leftovers even improve the next day and can be served with a light salad or garlic bread.
