Adrian - Crockpot Chicken Alfredo Ingredients : • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts • 8 oz pasta (penne or rotini work best) • 2 cups heavy cream • 1 cup low‑sodium chicken broth • 1½ cups grated Parmesan cheese • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning • Salt and black pepper, to taste • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Instructions : 1. Start with the Chicken Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer. Season evenly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the top. 2. Add the Liquids Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream into the slow cooker. The chicken does not need to be fully covered — the steam will help cook it gently. 3. Slow Cook Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours or HIGH for about 2½ hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. 4. Cook the Pasta in the Sauce Add the uncooked pasta directly to the crockpot, pressing it down so it’s mostly submerged in the liquid. Continue cooking on LOW for 1 additional hour or HIGH for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice to prevent sticking. 5. Shred the Chicken Once the pasta is tender, remove the chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, and return the meat to the crockpot. 6. Finish with Cheese Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Let the Alfredo rest for a few minutes — the sauce will naturally thicken. 7. Serve Sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving for a pop of color and freshness. Servings: 6 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 6 hours | Facebook
