Equipment

  • 1 (6-quart) slow cooker
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 2 forks (for shredding chicken)
  • 1 whisk (for mixing sauce)

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

For the Alfredo Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese cubed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cubed
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • ½ cup mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled bacon for garnish
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

Step 2: Assemble the Crockpot

  • Place the seasoned chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add heavy cream, cream cheese, butter, garlic, and Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 3: Slow Cook the Chicken

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 4: Shred & Stir

  • Remove the cooked chicken and shred it using two forks.
  • Whisk the Alfredo sauce in the crockpot until smooth and creamy.
  • Return the shredded chicken to the sauce, stirring to coat evenly.

Step 5: Serve & Garnish

  • Serve hot over zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or spaghetti squash.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, extra Parmesan, and crispy bacon if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, add an extra ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese or let the sauce sit for 5 minutes after mixing.
  • To make dairy-free, substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of heavy cream to maintain a smooth consistency.
