3. Preparing the Crockpot Chicken Alfredo

Step 1: Season and Sear the Chicken

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. For extra flavor, you can lightly sauté the chicken in a pan with a bit of olive oil until golden brown on each side. This step adds a depth of flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.

Step 2: Place Chicken in the Crockpot

Lay the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of your Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and minced garlic. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the ingredients.

Step 3: Cook on Low

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. The chicken will become tender, and the creamy mixture will meld into a rich sauce. Halfway through cooking, you may gently shred the chicken into the sauce for easier serving or leave it whole for a presentation.

Step 4: Cook the Pasta

While the chicken is cooking, prepare your pasta according to package instructions. For a unique flavor and better texture, consider using the Philips Pasta Maker to make fresh pasta at home.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the slow cooker toward the end of the cooking time. Toss everything together to coat the pasta in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Top with chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.

4. Storage & Reheating Tips for Crockpot Chicken Alfredo

Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave in short bursts or warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to restore creaminess. For longer storage, freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
