Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 ½ cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb fettuccine pasta (or your favorite pasta)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Preparation Method

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and lightly brown the chicken breasts on each side. You’re not cooking them all the way through, just searing for added flavor.
Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the chicken breasts to your slow cooker.
Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Stir to combine the ingredients.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot.
In the meantime, cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and add the pasta to the slow cooker. Stir everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy Alfredo sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese before serving.

Tips and Conclusion

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a bit of cream cheese or a dollop of butter into the sauce just before serving. This will give the sauce an extra creamy and indulgent texture. You can also experiment with adding a handful of spinach or mushrooms in the last hour of cooking to incorporate some veggies into the dish. If you prefer a bit of crunch, toast some breadcrumbs with garlic and sprinkle them on top for a delightful contrast in texture.
