We just ate this easy and delicious recipe – Crock pot Chicken Alfredo. The entire family including the picky ones completely cleaned off their plate. In fact, some licked the plates cleaned. I might have been one of them.

Tender and juicy chicken is mixed with easy alfredo sauce and then cooked in your slow cooker. If you love chicken alfredo as much as my family, try this Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo Pasta.

This creamy dish is made with simple ingredients but still is packed with a ton of flavor. Mix with fettuccini noodles, add a side of garlic bread and salad for a complete meal. You may even like Crock Pot Creamy Ranch Chicken.

How to Make Crockpot Chicken Alfredo

Step 1 – Place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 2 – Pour all the other ingredients on top. It is that easy to make this recipe.

Step 3 – Let the slow cooker do all the work and come home to the best dinner. Cook on low for 6 – 8 hours or cook on high for 2 hour to 4 hours. Cooking time will vary.

Step 4 – We like to shred the chicken before serving. Add shredded back into crock pot.

Step 5 – Stir the sauce before serving and serve over fully cooked fettuccine noodles. We like to season with black pepper, salt and parmesan cheese.

Tips for Success

• Cook Pasta – Make sure to cook pasta to al-dente. Once I am done cooking the pasta, I remove it from the stove so the pasta doesn’t overcook.
• Chopped Parsley – Before serving we like to sprinkle some chopped parsley over the top of the cooked chicken alfredo.
• Cooked Chicken – If you already have cooked chicken, this is a great recipe to use it in. We love cooking a bunch of chicken at the beginning of the week and use it in many different recipes.
• Add in Broccoli.  If you are trying to get your family to eat more vegetables, I love to add in chopped broccoli. I make sure that it is cut in small pieces so it is easy to eat. Drizzle with melted butter for even more flavor.

Variations & Substitutions

• Vegetables – This crock pot recipe is easy to stir in some spinach, kale, or broccoli.
• Pasta – You can use different pasta. Bowtie pasta, rigatoni, penne pasta are always good options.
• Change Protein – If you prefer, you can use different proteins. Try using shrimp, sausage, or salmon.
• Add in Bacon – If we have bacon already cooked, you can also mix in some chopped bacon. It pairs well with the chicken.
• Heavy Cream – To make it creamier, you can add in heavy cream and chicken broth.
• Garlic Powder – For added flavor, you can add in a teaspoon of garlic powder.

What to Serve with Chicken Alfredo Crockpot Recipe?

• Green Salad – We served ours with salad and it was such an easy and delicious dinner. 
• Garlic Bread – The alfredo sauce is so amazing so you will want something to dip into that yummy cheesy sauce. We love Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe and it is perfect for getting every last bit of that amazing sauce.
• Green Vegetable – You could also try Roasted Green Beans. Or learn how to steam broccoli in the microwave for a super easy veggie side dish.

We love to keep things simple around here so we can get dinner on the table fast.
