One chilly afternoon, I had a craving for something creamy, cozy, and comforting—but I also didn’t want to dirty more than one dish or stand over a stove stirring sauce.
That’s how this Crockpot Chicken Alfredo came to life. I tossed everything in the slow cooker, crossed my fingers, and a few hours later, I had rich, velvety Alfredo with perfectly tender chicken. No mess, no stress.
The flavor is spot on: garlicky, cheesy, and indulgent in the best way.
It’s the kind of meal you make when you want restaurant-style pasta with minimal effort. Just a handful of ingredients and a little patience, and you’ve got yourself an impressive dish perfect for weeknights or easy entertaining.

Ingredients:
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (16 oz) box fettuccine or pasta of choice (cooked separately)
- Optional garnish: Broccoli, chopped fresh parsley, additional Parmesan
Instructions:
- Add to Crockpot:
Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and butter. Pour in the heavy cream, making sure the chicken is mostly submerged. - Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. - Shred the Chicken:
Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, then return it to the sauce. - Add Parmesan:
Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Let it melt into the sauce for about 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken slightly as it rests. - Serve:
Serve over freshly cooked fettuccine or your favorite pasta. Top with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes:
- This recipe serves 4–6 people, depending on portion size.
- I made the mistake once of adding the pasta directly into the crockpot—it soaked up all the sauce. For best results, cook the pasta separately and spoon the Alfredo over it just before serving.
- Chicken thighs can be used for a richer flavor and extra tenderness.
- If you want a thinner sauce, add a splash of milk or chicken broth when stirring in the Parmesan.
- For added flavor, you can stir in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or steamed broccoli at the end.
