How To Make Crockpot Chicken Alfredo
Add the chicken breasts to your crockpot, and add the minced garlic on top of it.
Add in the cream, chicken broth, and the butter.
Cook on high for 3 1/2 hours, until chicken is cooked through and tender enough to shred. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to temperature inside.
Shred the chicken using two forks, and return it to the crockpot.
Add the penne pasta to the crockpot, and cook it for about 30 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
Add shredded parmesan and stir to combine it and melt it.
Add salt and pepper, to taste.
If desired, top each plate with extra parmesan, and a sprinkle of parsley.
Important Recipe Notes
Add the chicken to the bottom of the crockpot to ensure it is coated with the broth and cream.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is thoroughly cooked.
The pasta will take about 30 minutes to cook, but check it to ensure it is al dente.
