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.

What to Serve with Chicken Alfredo Crockpot Recipe?

  • Green Salad – We served ours with salad and it was such an easy and delicious dinner. 
  • Garlic Bread – The alfredo sauce is so amazing so you will want something to dip into that yummy cheesy sauce. We love Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe and it is perfect for getting every last bit of that amazing sauce.
  • Green Vegetable – You could also try Roasted Green Beans. Or learn how to steam broccoli in the microwave for a super easy veggie side dish.

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 – Make sure to cook pasta to al-dente. Once I am done cooking the pasta, I remove it from the stove so the pasta doesn’t overcook.
  • Chopped Parsley – Before serving we like to sprinkle some chopped parsley over the top of the cooked chicken alfredo.
  • Cooked Chicken – 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.

    Love the freezer crockpot meals. So easy. A friend gave me a couple in ziplock bags after my second daughter was born. Brilliant. We’ve 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.

  12. Carrie says:

    Yes you can. That would taste great!

  13. Lornna says:

    May I use chicken broth instead of water to give it more flavor?

  14. Carrie says:

    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.

  15. Trisha says:

    Did I do it wrong? I just dumped everything on the chicken…I didn’t cut up the cream cheese block and I added the water like it says and when it got done it’s not a sauce it’s just liquid with cream cheese chunks in it? What should I do different?

  16. Carrie says:

    Yes that should work great.

  17. Skylar says:

    Can I use chicken tenderloins instead of the breast?

  18. Carrie says:

    Yes!

  21. Joe says:

    Is it ok to use frozen chicken in the crockpot?

  22. Stacey says:

    If you were going to use a jar Alfredo do you just do the Italian seasoning on top of the chicken and are the noodles made so seperately

  23. Carrie says:

    I use the brick option for this recipe. Thank you!

  28. Kelly says:

    Which cream cheese is better to use? Brick or tub?

  29. Sara says:

    Can you add the uncooked pasta into the crockpot with everything else so it all cooks together? And, would you cook the pasta for the whole length of time or would you add it in (uncooked) towards the end? Thanks!

  30. Carrie says:

    Yes, I think that would work great!

  31. Angie says:

    If we can’t find the seasoning pack will regular Italian seasoning work???

  32. Carrie says:

    Tricia – I would cook this with frozen chicken in the instant pot for 25 minutes. Thank you!

  33. Tricia says:

    Hey Carrie,
    If you used frozen chicken and used the instant pot instead, what would be your cooking time?
    Thanks!
