Ingredients Needed for Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo Recipe

This crockpot chicken alfredo uses simple, family-friendly ingredients that create one of the most flavorful meals! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

• Chicken: You’ll need boneless skinless chicken breasts to add plenty of savory protein to this dish.
• Butter: Adds rich flavor to the sauce.
• Cream Cheese: Provides rich creaminess while adding a tangy, sweet flavor that enhances the dish.
• Garlic Powder: For the perfect savory garlic taste.
• Italian Seasoning: Use a store-bought blend or try my homemade Italian seasoning mix that’s filled with Italian flavor.
• Salt & Ground Black Pepper: Will help enhance the flavors of all the ingredients.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: Helps thicken the sauce while making it creamy and rich.
• Chicken Broth: Adds moisture and a savory flavor.
• Grated Parmesan Cheese: Adds a salty, tasty kick to the dish.
• Penne Pasta: Any short pasta is great, but we especially love using penne pasta because the sauce gets trapped in the tubes for the perfect sauce in every bite!

Crockpot Chicken Alfredo Instructions

I love how simple it is to throw together this crockpot chicken alfredo recipe! In less than 10 minutes, it can be ready to go! Set the crockpot and forget it!

1. Chicken: Spray the inside of the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray, then place the chicken breast in the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Cook: Add the cubed cream cheese, cubed butter, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chicken broth, and heavy whipping cream into the slow cooker. Cook the chicken breast on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5. Make sure it cooks through completely.
3. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken and shred it into bite-size pieces.
4. Pasta and Cheese: Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot. Add the pasta and parmesan cheese, and stir. Cook the pasta on high for about 30 minutes or until it becomes fully cooked and tender. Top crockpot chicken alfredo with freshly grated parmesan and chopped greens, and serve.
