Crockpot Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Easy Crockpot Chicken Alfredo Pasta with creamy sauce, tender chicken, and pasta, perfect for a comforting, hands-off dinner.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 6 hours

Total Time 6 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
12 oz pasta (penne or fusilli)

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, cream cheese, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
About 30 minutes before serving, add the uncooked pasta to the slow cooker. Stir to combine and ensure the pasta is submerged in the sauce.
Once the pasta is tender, shred the chicken using two forks and stir in the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Let the cheese melt into the sauce, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined.
Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Make sure to stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking, and adjust the cooking time depending on the type of pasta used.

Ingredients Notes:

Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this dish. You can also use chicken tenders for easier shredding.
Pasta: Use short pasta like penne, rotini, or fusilli. Avoid long noodles, as they might overcook in the slow cooker.
Alfredo Sauce: Opt for a store-bought jar of Alfredo sauce or make your own by combining heavy cream, butter, and parmesan cheese.
Cream Cheese: Adds creaminess and helps thicken the sauce. Make sure it’s softened before adding.
Cheese: Freshly shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese melt better than pre-shredded varieties, giving the dish a smoother texture.
Seasonings: Customize with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Fresh garlic and herbs can add a pop of flavor.

Variations and Substitutions:

Vegetables: Add vegetables like spinach, peas, or mushrooms to the slow cooker for extra flavor and nutrition.
Protein: For a twist, substitute chicken with turkey, shrimp, or even sausage.
Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free Alfredo sauce, plant-based cream cheese, and dairy-free mozzarella.
Pasta Alternative: If you want a low-carb option, use zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice instead of pasta.
Spicy Version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Storage Options:

Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Freezing: You can freeze the cooked pasta and chicken Alfredo for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop, adding extra cream or milk if needed.
