Step by step
Instructions
- 1
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot.

Add the Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir the sauce around the chicken.
- 3
Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- 4
Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it with two forks or cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- 5
Return the chicken to the crockpot and stir in the heavy cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese.
- 6
Break the fettuccine (if using) in half and cook it separately in a pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain.
- 7
Add the cooked pasta to the crockpot and gently toss everything together until the noodles are coated in the creamy Alfredo sauce.
- 8
Let everything sit for about 5 minutes so the sauce can thicken slightly.
- 9
Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, then serve warm.
Notes & tips
- Cook the pasta separately to keep it from becoming mushy in the slow cooker.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, creamier sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of warm chicken broth or milk.
- For extra flavor, add cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms.
