Ingredients
    For the Base:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta (broken in half if needed)
    • For the Sauce:
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
    Prep the Chicken:
  1. 1
    Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth and milk over the chicken. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the liquid. This will infuse the chicken with savory flavors as it cooks.
    2. Add Cream:
  2. 2
    Pour in the heavy cream. Stir everything gently to combine. The heavy cream will create the rich, creamy texture of the Alfredo sauce.
    3. Slow Cook:
  3. 3
    Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set the heat to low. Cook the chicken for 4-6 hours or until it is fully cooked and tender. You can check the internal temperature of the chicken, which should be at least 165°F (74°C).
    4. Shred the Chicken:
  4. 4
    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Set it aside.
    5. Cook the Pasta:
  5. 5
    Add the fettuccine pasta to the slow cooker, making sure the pasta is submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook for another 30-40 minutes until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally to ensure the pasta is cooked evenly.
    6. Make the Sauce:
  6. 6
    In a separate small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the grated mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheeses melt and form a creamy, thick sauce.
    7. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
  7. 7
    Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and pour the melted cheese sauce into the slow cooker as well. Stir until everything is fully combined and creamy.
    8. Serve:
  8. 8
    Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve your Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo hot with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs for garnish if desired.
Note

If you prefer a thicker Alfredo sauce, you can thicken the sauce by adding a little cornstarch mixed with water towards the end of cooking.

For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach before slow cooking the chicken.

To make the dish spicier, consider adding red pepper flakes to the sauce.This recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
