Better than what you can get at most restaurants and it comes out of your slow cooker! This Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Pasta is a family favorite dinner recipe!

Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Pasta is a super easy, family-friendly meal with zero prep work.

You can get a gourmet-style meal on the table for your family without a lot of work or having to pay tons of money for take-out.

Alfredo sauce is a garlic and Parmesan cream sauce used in a variety of Italian dishes. This recipe uses cream cheese instead of the traditional cream to make the sauce more slow cooker friendly. It will also be thicker.

Using chicken breasts makes for a healthier meal. Cooking them in the slow cooker with broth makes them tender and delicious.

Serve it with garlic bread and a green salad.

Making pasta in the slow cooker:

I have several recipes here on my blog that use pasta, like this Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Pasta and this Slow Cooker Firecracker Chicken Pasta. I know it can sound kind of crazy to make pasta in the slow cooker, but with a little practice and by following these instructions, you’ll find it such and easy way to make a meal like this any day of the week without all the work.

  • water
  • noodles
  • parsley, for garnish

How To Make Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo:

  1. place chicken, broth, and seasonings in slow cooker
  2. top with Parmesan cheese and cream cheese, cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours
  3. remove fully cooked chicken and shred, set aside
  4. whisk together water and cornstarch, add to slow cooker
  5. use whisk to stir together contents of slow cooker until cheeses are combined and smooth
  6. break noodles in half and place in slow cooker
  7. top with chicken and cover
  8. turn slow cooker to high for 30-60 minutes until noodles are fully cooked, stirring 3-4 times during cooking
  9. if noodles are not done, add extra water or broth (1/2 cup at a time) until cooked

** if cooking noodles separately, reduce the amount of broth **

Pro Tips For Making Pasta In The Slow Cooker:

Cooking pasta in the slow cooker doesn’t have to be a chore! Cook your meats, etc. first and add the pasta toward the end.

Make sure you plan about 30-45 minutes at the end for cooking your pasta.

Don’t forget to stir it a couple of times during that time frame to ensure it cooks evenly without clumping!

Add extra water or broth if pasta is not cooked tender. Add additional cornstarch to thicken sauce if needed.

Serve right away rather than keeping on warm for best results.

    The flavor is a little too salty and the texture is way way way too gummy. I added more broth and water and it still was super thick. This could use way more liquid and cheese. Was so disappointed with this because it looked sooo good.

    While the flavor was alright, this definitely didn’t thicken into anything close to an Alfredo sauce, and the chicken is so tender and overcooked it’s purely shredded and hard to even distinguish from the noodles. It needs heavy cream and flour for a roux, the cream cheese/Parmesan combo just didn’t cut it.

    What can I use instead of the herb and garlic seasoning?

      You could make your own blend of Italian seasoning, garlic and salt.

      With some adjustments I’m sure you could! I haven’t tested this out, so unfortunately I can’t provide an exact recipe, but if you decide to try it, let me know!

    Loved this recipe! It was so easy but I’d change a few things when making it next time. I’d add another cup of broth/stock & cheese and I think I’ll cook the noodles to al dente on the stovetop as they did stick a bit in my crockpot. But other than that it tasted great and the sauce was a perfect flavor!

      Elizabeth, when you state that you would add extra cheese, do you mean the cream cheese and/or the parmesan? How much? My question is for the “Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Pasta” recipe. Thank you for your help!

    Hello,

    I accidentally bought grated Parmesan cheese instead of shredded. Will that be okay for this meal?

    Thank you for your time,

    Jocelyn

      It should be fine as long as it’s fresh grated and not dry. You will probably want to use a little less.
