Ingredients

For the Chicken Alfredo

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces fettuccine pasta
Fresh parsley for garnish

These ingredients combine to create a rich and flavorful dish that everyone will love.

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Add the Sauce Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.

Cook the Chicken

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Cook the Pasta

About 30 minutes before serving, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Combine Everything

Once the chicken is done, shred it with two forks and stir it back into the sauce. Add the cooked fettuccine and mix until well combined.

Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy your cozy meal!

This dish is best served warm and can be paired with a side salad or garlic bread.

Tips for the Best Results

To ensure your Cozy Crockpot Chicken Alfredo turns out perfectly, consider using high-quality Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated cheese will melt better and provide a richer flavor compared to pre-packaged options. Additionally, feel free to experiment with the seasoning by adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick.

Don't rush the cooking process. Allowing the chicken to cook on low for a full four hours will result in tender, juicy meat that shreds easily. If you're short on time, you can cook on high for two hours, but the texture may differ slightly.

Serving Suggestions

For an added touch, serve your Cozy Crockpot Chicken Alfredo with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad. These sides complement the creaminess of the dish and provide a balanced meal. A light vinaigrette can help cut through the richness, enhancing the overall dining experience.

If you have any leftovers, consider transforming them into a delicious pasta bake. Simply place the chicken Alfredo in a baking dish, sprinkle with extra cheese, and bake until bubbly. This gives a new twist to the original dish and is perfect for using up any remaining portions.
