With the chilly fall weather out comes the slow cooker recipes! This Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo is so easy to prepare and only requires a handful of ingredients. You are going to want to make this tasty dish for dinner! And remember...slow cookers aren't just for dinner. Slow cookers make delicious desserts like Slow Cooker Brownies or Slow Cooker Cobbler, too!
How to make this Chicken Alfredo:
- I like to line my crockpot with those handy slow cooker liners. It makes the clean up so much easier. If you're not using a liner make sure to spray your slow cooker with some cooking spray.
- Place your chicken breast halves in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Sprinkle them with the italian dressing mix and drizzle with the water.
- Cook on low for 4 hours.
- Remove cooked chicken from the crockpot and shred with two forks.
- Add the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, and garlic to the liquid remaining in the crockpot. Whisk together until mostly smooth. There will probably still be some chunks of cream cheese floating around, but that's ok.
- Stir the chicken into the sauce. Cook on low for an additional hour.
- After that hour, cook the linguine according to package directions.
- While the linguine is cooking, thin down the chicken alfredo with milk to the desired constistency. This is a thicker than usual sauce, so don't overdo it. Serve over the linguine!
Frequently asked question:
What should I serve with chicken alfredo?
We like breadsticks, French Bread or a big green salad!
Can you freeze chicken alfredo?
You can! However, I recommend that you only freeze the chicken alfredo sauce and make your pasta fresh when you're ready to eat it. Before freezing the sauce in a freezer safe container make sure it is completely chilled. Eat within 6 months.
