Description
A creamy and comforting Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake that combines tender chicken, fettuccine pasta, and rich Alfredo sauce, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 500g)
- 8 oz (225g) fettuccine pasta (uncooked)
- 2 cups (480ml) Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup (100g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup (50g) Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder and black pepper. Place them at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Break the uncooked fettuccine in half and scatter it over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the pasta and chicken, ensuring that the pasta is well-coated. If needed, add a little water (about 1/2 cup or 120ml) to help cook the pasta evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and the pasta tender.
- About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta and chicken. Cover again and allow the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
- Once the cheese is melted and golden-brown, carefully scoop out portions of the pasta bake. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in the microwave or oven until heated through.
- For freezing, place in a freezer-safe container and it can be frozen for up to 2 months.
