Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by browning seasoned chicken breasts briefly in olive oil, then slow cooking them in a mixture of whole milk, chicken broth, and garlic. After several hours in the crock pot, the chicken becomes tender and infused with the sauce flavors. Removing the chicken to keep warm allows the fettuccine pasta to cook in the sauce until tender. Stirring in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese at the end creates a creamy, cheesy Alfredo sauce coating the pasta.
The cooked chicken is sliced and returned to the pasta mixture before serving. Sprinkling additional Parmesan and fresh parsley atop adds brightness and visual appeal.
The slow cooker method yields a hands-off creamy Alfredo dish with moist chicken and soft pasta all combined in one pot, convenient for an easy dinner requiring little active preparation.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breast large
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups milk whole
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 8 ounces Fettuccine pasta broken in half
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for garnish, shredded
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until browned but not cooked through.
- Add the chicken to the crock pot. Mix together the whole milk, chicken broth, and garlic, and pour it over the chicken. Cook on high heat for 2-3 hours, or low heat for 4-5 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and cover with foil to keep warm. Add the fettuccine to the crock pot and stir to coat in the sauce. Cover and cook on high heat for 30 minutes, until tender. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
- Slice the chicken and add it to the fettuccine in the crock pot. Serve sprinkled with parmesan and fresh parsley, if desired.
