Can you cook chicken alfredo in a crock pot?

You sure can! Add chicken, carrots, celery and red bell pepper to a slow cooker. Add heavy cream, butter, chicken broth, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika and cayenne pepper.

Slow cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours.

Remove the chicken from the slow cooker, place on a cutting board, shred and add back to the slow cooker, along with the parmesan cheese and fettuccine noodles.

Place the lid back on the slow cooker and cook for an additional 30-40 minutes.

Can you put uncooked noodles in a crock pot?

For this recipe, yes you can. The noodles will cook in the hot alfredo sauce in the crock pot.

Servings: 8 people

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American, Italian

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 lb pasta, recommend fettuccine or linguine

Instructions

  • Add the chicken, carrots, celery and bell pepper to a slow cooker.
  • Add the heavy cream, butter, chicken broth, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, kosher salt, onion powder, paprika and cayenne pepper to the slow cooker and stir gently to combine.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and pasta to the slow cooker and stir everything together.
  • Place the lid back on the slow cooker and continue to cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  • While the pasta is cooking in the slow cooker, use two forks to shred the chicken. 
  • Once the pasta is cooked, add the chicken back to the slow cooker and toss everything together.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Omit the chicken.  The buffalo alfredo sauce is so good on its own, you could definitely do it without the chicken, and simply add extra vegetables.
  • Gluten Free Option: Use gluten-free pasta. Make sure the buffalo sauce is gluten free, Frank's, which is what I used in the recipe, is gluten-free.
