Ingredients
3 chicken breasts
3 cups broccoli florets
12 oz fettuccine pasta
2 cups Alfredo sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup milk
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear chicken on both sides until golden.
2. Transfer chicken to the crock pot. Add Alfredo sauce, minced garlic, and milk. Cover and cook on low for 3.5 to 4 hours.
3. Once done, remove chicken and shred using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir well.
4. Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and add to the crock pot.
5. Steam broccoli florets until just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir into the Alfredo mixture.
6. Add grated Parmesan and butter to the pot. Stir to combine and let it sit on warm for 10–15 minutes.
7. Taste and adjust with more salt or pepper before serving.
Notes
Searing the chicken before slow cooking builds richer flavor, but can be skipped to save time.
Add a splash of milk when reheating leftovers to keep the sauce creamy.
You can use frozen broccoli—just toss it in during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
