Instructions
Creating your Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo is a breeze. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Combine Ingredients: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the sautéed garlic over the chicken.
4. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything together.
5. Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shredded.
6. Cook the Pasta: About 20 minutes before serving, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
7. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
8. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
9. Combine Pasta: Add the drained fettuccine to the slow cooker, gently mixing everything together until the pasta is coated in the Alfredo sauce.
10. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley for a splash of color and serve immediately.
