Today I'd like to share a fabulous crock pot dinner recipe that IS SO EASY AND SO YUMMY!


CHICKEN ALFREDO

It's the BEST Crockpot Chicken Alfredo recipe, so easy to make! Juicy shredded chicken and pasta in a creamy homemade alfredo sauce. This is a great recipe for busy dinners and easy cleanups.

INGREDIENTS-

  • Chicken – boneless skinless chicken breasts work the best.
  • Cream cheese – cream cheese adds creaminess to the alfredo sauce!
  • Butter – unsalted butter is what we want.
  • Garlic – freshly minced garlic is best. You can also use garlic powder if you don’t have fresh garlic.
  • Seasoning – salt and pepper is all we used but you can add a little bit of Cajun Seasoning for the kick in the pasta dish!
  • Chicken broth – balances the thickness of the dish.
  • Heavy cream – gives that perfect creaminess and consistency to the pasta.
  • Pasta – we like penne pasta, but any other short pasta will work. You don’t need to cook your pasta; add it to the crockpot uncooked.
  • Parmesan cheese – you can use pre-grated parmesan cheese or grate fresh cheese.
HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER CHICKEN ALFREDO-

  • Cook chicken and cream – Add the chicken breast, cream cheese, butter, garlic, seasoning, broth, and heavy whipping into your slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Cook pasta – Remove the chicken and shred, return to the crockpot with the pasta and parmesan cheese, and cook on high for about 35-40 minutes, or until the pasta is fully cooked.
  • Serve – Top with freshly grated parmesan and chopped greens and serve.

NOTE:
For me - I personally add more cream, cream cheese and cheese - I like my alfredo thicker!
