Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo
Let’s talk comfort food. You know, the kind of meal that makes you want to put on stretchy pants, cancel plans, and eat straight from the pot with a wooden spoon. Well, folks, this Crockpot Chicken Alfredo is exactly that. In fact, it’s so dangerously delicious, I almost named it Crackpot Chicken Alfredo —because once you try it, you’ll be hooked! (Don’t worry, the only thing illegal here is how fast this will disappear from your plate.)
The beauty of this dish? It’s effortless. You toss everything in the slow cooker, go about your day, and come back to a pot full of creamy, cheesy, garlicky goodness. It’s a dish that makes you feel like you slaved away in the kitchen… when in reality, you barely lifted a finger.

This Crockpot Chicken Alfredo is everything you love about restaurant-style Alfredo—but without the price tag, effort, or required pants (you do you). It’s creamy, cheesy, and ridiculously comforting. Serve it for a family dinner, impress guests, or just make a giant batch and eat it for three days straight (I speak from experience).
So go ahead, give this "Crack"pot Chicken Alfredo a try—but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you find yourself making it again next week!
Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic (because garlic is life)
1 pound linguini (uncooked or cooked separately)
Fresh parsley for garnish (because I’m fancy like that)
Instructions
1. Set It and Forget It!
Place the chicken in your slow cooker and season it with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Basically, make that chicken feel special—this is its big moment.
2. The Creamy Goodness
Add heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan, mozzarella, cream cheese, butter, and garlic. Stir everything together (as best you can—don’t worry, it’ll melt into creamy perfection).
3. Let the Magic Happen
Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
4. Shred It Like You Mean It
Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks and stir it back into the sauce.
5. The Pasta Situation
If you’re feeling brave (and a little lazy—no judgment), break your uncooked linguini in half and add it straight to the crockpot during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping.
If you like full control over your noodles, cook them separately and mix them in before serving. Either way, you win.
6. Serve & Devour
Give it a final stir, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with garlic bread (because carbs deserve more carbs). Then, prepare for the inevitable food coma.
