Crockpot Chicken Alfredo Recipe:
We just ate this easy and delicious recipe – Crock pot Chicken Alfredo. The entire family including the picky ones completely cleaned off their plate. In fact, some licked the plates cleaned. I might have been one of them.
Tender and juicy chicken is mixed with easy alfredo sauce and then cooked in your slow cooker. If you love chicken alfredo as much as my family, try this Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo Pasta.
This creamy dish is made with simple ingredients but still is packed with a ton of flavor. Mix with fettuccini noodles, add a side of garlic bread and salad for a complete meal.
How to Shred Crock Pot Chicken:
Making chicken in the crock pot is the best way to use it for different recipes. Shredding chicken can easily be shredded by using a Kitchen aid Mixer. Shredding the chicken with a mixer saves you so much time.
The chicken comes out perfectly shredded and can be used in many different ways. We like to make a batch of shredded chicken at the beginning of the week and use it in different recipes.

We love to keep things simple around here so we can get dinner on the table fast.
Tips for Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo:
- Cook Pasta โ Make sure to cook pasta to al-dente. Once I am done cooking the pasta, I remove it from the stove so the pasta doesnโt overcook.
- Chopped Parsley โ Before serving we like to sprinkle some chopped parsley over the top of the cooked chicken alfredo.
- Cooked Chicken โ If you already have cooked chicken, this is a great recipe to use it in. We love cooking a bunch of chicken at the beginning of the week and use it in many different recipes.
- Add in Broccoli. If you are trying to get your family to eat more vegetables, I love to add in chopped broccoli. I make sure that it is cut in small pieces so it is easy to eat.
Can you keep chicken Alfredo warm in a crock pot?
Yes, you can use the warm setting on the slow cooker to keep the alfredo sauce
Variations:
- Vegetables – This crock pot recipe is easy to stir in some spinach, kale, or broccoli.
- Pasta – You can use different pasta. Bowtie pasta, rigatoni, penne pasta are always good options.
- Change Protein – If you prefer, you can use different proteins. Try using shrimp, sausage, or salmon.
- Add in Bacon – If we have bacon already cooked, you can also mix in some chopped bacon. It pairs well with the chicken.
- Heavy Cream – To make it creamier, you can add in heavy cream and chicken broth.
- Garlic Powder – For added flavor, you can add in a teaspoon of garlic powder.

Can I get Day 1’s recipe?
I was wondering if you could use the lower fat cream cheese?
Love the freezer crockpot meals. So easy. A friend gave me a couple in ziplock bags after my second daughter was born. Brilliant. Weโve been hooked ever since. This one we use at least once a month. My picky eaters love it. I add broccoli or edamame to it.
Yes you can. That would taste great!
May I use chicken broth instead of water to give it more flavor?
After the cook time, I remove the chicken and whisk the sauce ingredients until they are thoroughly combined and then add the chicken back in. Thanks.
Did I do it wrong? I just dumped everything on the chicken…I didnโt cut up the cream cheese block and I added the water like it says and when it got done itโs not a sauce itโs just liquid with cream cheese chunks in it? What should I do different?
