Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 cups heavy cream (full-fat)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 8 oz dry fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker
  • cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • mixing spoon or tongs

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Add cubed butter and minced garlic over the top.
  3. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 3–4 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  4. Remove chicken and shred or slice. Set aside.
  5. Stir Parmesan cheese into the sauce until smooth. Add dry fettuccine pasta, ensuring it’s submerged in the sauce. Cook on HIGH for 20 minutes or until al dente.
  6. Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Let rest 5–10 minutes to thicken before serving.
  7. Serve immediately with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan on top.

Notes

For extra richness, use full-fat heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan. Add broccoli or spinach for a veggie boost, or turn it into Chicken Bacon Ranch Alfredo by adding crumbled bacon and ranch seasoning. Avoid freezing leftovers as the dairy sauce can separate when thawed.
