Ingredients
  

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 cups heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup uncooked fettuccine pasta

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: extra cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Evenly season the chicken with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to enhance its flavor.

    Add the Aromatics: Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken, allowing the savory aroma to permeate the dish as it cooks.

      Combine the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and chicken broth until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Carefully pour this creamy mixture over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker.

        Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the chicken on low for 4 to 5 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours. The chicken is ready when it is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

          Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the creamy sauce, ensuring it’s well coated.

            Cook the Pasta: Stir in the uncooked fettuccine pasta into the slow cooker, mixing it with the chicken and sauce. Cover the slow cooker again and cook on low for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Be sure to stir occasionally to check for even cooking.

              Finish the Sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, add the grated Parmesan cheese into the slow cooker. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

                Serve: Ladle the creamy chicken Alfredo into individual bowls. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired, for an extra touch.
