Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo
Ingredients
-
1.5–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
2 cups heavy cream
-
1 cup chicken broth
-
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
8 oz fettuccine pasta (or pasta of your choice)
-
2 tablespoons butter (optional, for extra creaminess)
-
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare Chicken
-
Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
-
Season with garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Add Liquids
-
Pour heavy cream and chicken broth over the chicken.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
3. Shred Chicken
-
Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return to the slow cooker.
4. Cook the Pasta
-
About 20 minutes before serving, add uncooked pasta to the slow cooker.
-
Stir gently and cover. Cook until pasta is tender, about 15–20 minutes.
5. Finish the Sauce
-
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and butter (if using) until melted and creamy.
-
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
6. Serve
-
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
-
Serve immediately for best texture.
Tips
-
For extra flavor, add sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, or mushrooms.
-
Avoid overcooking pasta in the slow cooker—it can become mushy.
-
Use low-sodium chicken broth if you prefer a milder sauce.
I can also create a one-pot stovetop version that’s ready in 30 minutes if you want a faster alternative.
