Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs 0.9 kg boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 16 oz / 1 lb jar Alfredo sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder or 4 cloves minced garlic
  • ½ cup 0.12 lb grated Parmesan cheese

Optional:

  • 12 oz 0.75 lb cooked pasta (fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti)
  • Chopped parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Crockpot

  • Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of the crockpot.

Step 2: Add the Sauce and Seasoning

  • Pour the Alfredo sauce over the chicken and sprinkle the garlic powder (or minced garlic) on top. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir gently to coat the chicken.
  • Cover the crockpot with the lid.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

  • Cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and can be shredded easily with a fork.

Step 4: Shred the Chicken and Combine with Pasta

  • Once the chicken is done, use two forks to shred it directly in the crockpot. Stir the shredded chicken to combine with the creamy sauce.
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and add the cooked pasta to the crockpot, tossing it in the sauce until well coated.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Use garlic Alfredo sauce for extra garlic flavor, or swap Parmesan for Pecorino Romano.
  • Vegetable Add-ins: Stir in baby spinach or steamed broccoli for a healthy twist.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to restore the creamy texture.
  • Serving Tip: Serve with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
