This BEST Crockpot Chicken Alfredo recipe delivers juicy shredded chicken and tender pasta in a rich, creamy homemade Alfredo sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights, this slow cooker dish offers an effortless blend of flavors with minimal cleanup, making it a go-to comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Pasta and Cheese

  • ¾ cup parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz penne pasta, uncooked

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Place the chicken breast, cream cheese, cubed butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, chicken broth, and heavy whipping cream into the slow cooker. Stir lightly to combine.
  2. Cook Chicken: Set the slow cooker on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. Cook until the chicken breast is fully cooked through and tender.
  3. Shred Chicken and Add Pasta: Remove the chicken breast from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot along with the uncooked penne pasta and parmesan cheese.
  4. Cook Pasta: Turn the slow cooker to high again and cook for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the pasta is fully cooked and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Serve: Once the pasta is cooked, top the dish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh greens if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
