Alfredo is the name of the inventor of the dish, Alfredo de Lelio. Alfredo has come to mean a pasta dish tossed with butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese.
Yes, you can absolutely cook pasta right in the crockpot. I recommend cooking the pasta in the last 20 minutes so that it doesn’t overcook.
This recipe improves upon classic chicken Alfredo by seasoning the meat and sauce with Italian seasoning. To kick it up a notch, add ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. If you have the time, it’s also a great idea to brown the chicken on high for a few minutes before adding the heavy cream and chicken broth.
Chicken, sauce and noodles – all cooked up in a lip smacking, one pot meal!
Storage Instruction
Store leftover chicken Alfredo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing chicken Alfredo.
Chicken Alfredo Variations
To take your chicken Alfredo to the next level, try these variations:
- Add Greens: Once the pasta has fully cooked, add in some spinach or kale and stir until wilted.
- Swap Pastas: Try a different shape of pasta, such as bowties or rigatoni.
- Swap Proteins: Try making salmon, shrimp, or meatball Alfredo!
- Add Veggies: Add broccoli florets, peas, or carrots for a veggie boost.
- Add Pork: Add in chopped bacon or pancetta for an umami kick.
Tip for Better Chicken Alfredo
If you have time, brown your chicken breasts in the crockpot set on high before adding the chicken broth and heavy cream. This will give the chicken a nice crust and create some brown bits to add flavor to the sauce.
