Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need to whip up this cozy dish:

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  
• 3 cups chicken broth
  
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
  
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  
• 1 tablespoon butter
  
• 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed
  
• 1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce (or homemade if you like)
  
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 12 oz fettuccine pasta (or any pasta you like)
  
• Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
  

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken & Sauce Base

Place your chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot. Pour in chicken broth, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and dot the butter on top.

Tip: Want more flavor? Sear your chicken in a pan first before adding it to the pot.

2. Let It Slow Cook

Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2.5–3 hours until chicken is tender and shreds easily.

3. Add the Creamy Stuff

Once the chicken’s cooked, shred it right in the pot using two forks. Add the cream cheese cubes, Alfredo sauce, and Parmesan. Stir it gently to combine.

Let it cook another 20–30 minutes on low so the sauce melts together into creamy perfection.

4. Cook Pasta Separately

As your sauce finishes, boil the pasta on the stovetop. Just follow the package instructions. Drain it, then add to the crock pot and stir.

Avoid putting uncooked pasta in the slow cooker—it soaks up too much liquid and might turn mushy.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Spoon the creamy Alfredo chicken over your pasta. Sprinkle with parsley or extra cheese if you’re feeling fancy.

Helpful Tips

• Make it cheesy: Stir in mozzarella if you like a stretchy cheese pull.
  
• Veggie boost: Add steamed broccoli or peas at the end.
  
• Spice it up: Toss in red pepper flakes or Cajun seasoning for a little kick.
  

Storing Leftovers

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
  
• Reheat with a splash of milk to bring the sauce back to life.
  
• Not great for freezing due to the dairy, but okay for short-term.
