Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 8 oz block cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 16 oz fettuccine pasta or penne
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Season Chicken: Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add Sauce Base: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Add cubed cream cheese, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred Chicken: Remove chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the crock pot. Stir until creamy and smooth.
- Cook Pasta: About 20 minutes before serving, cook pasta separately according to package directions. Drain well.
- Add Broccoli: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the broccoli florets so they steam and stay bright green.
- Combine & Serve: Add pasta to the crock pot, toss everything together until coated in Alfredo sauce. Stir in butter if desired. Serve hot with extra Parmesan on top.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If the sauce becomes too thick when reheating, add a splash of cream or chicken broth.
