Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo
- Crockpot Chicken Alfredo is a restaurant-level dish without the work!
- This dish is a time and money saver, perfect for dinner parties or potlucks. Let guests help themselves directly from the Crockpot!
- While the slow cooker is working its magic, there is time to make some Pizza Dough Breadsticks, and an Easy Greek Salad or Spinach and Strawberry Salad. Roasted Broccolini would also make an absolutely delicious side along with chicken alfredo!
Ingredients and Variations
MEAT: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts cook up perfectly in the Crockpot, but boneless, skinless chicken thighs will work as well. This is also a great recipe for Italian sausage, Meatballs, shrimp, or smoked salmon.
SAUCE: There are many varieties of pre-made Alfredo sauce but it’s easy to add a little twist to it by adding extra parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and even a dash of your favorite hot sauce or Cajun seasoning!
PASTA: Choose pasta varieties that are bigger and thicker to hold the sauce. This recipe calls for fettuccine, but penne, rigatoni, or bow-tie are good choices. For low-carb pasta, try using freshly made zucchini ‘zoodles.’
ADD-INS: A bag of frozen peas adds a pop of color and sweetness to Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo, as will some frozen spinach, broccoli, and sliced mushrooms. Mix and match your favorites to make a hearty meal!

When it comes to shortcut dinners that taste great, this is one of the easiest to prepare:

Crockpot Tips
Crockpot Chicken Alfredo can be made in advance and kept chilled in the refrigerator until ready to reheat either back in the Crockpot or on the stovetop. Use specially made Crockpot liners to shorten cleanup time!
Leftovers
Keep leftover Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave. For best results, stir in a little milk to loosen the sauce. Portions can be frozen in zippered bags for up to 4 weeks, however, thawed pasta won’t be as firm as fresh. Simply add new pasta.
