Tips for the slow cooker chicken alfredo recipe
This Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo is super easy to make. Here are a few tips to make it even better:
- Some brands of heavy cream tend to separate during cooking, so you can skip the addition of the cream at the beginning of the recipe. Instead, add the broth and all the seasonings to the slow cooker. Let cook for the desired time (low or high). Then stir in the cream and parmesan 15 minutes before the end of cooking time.
- If you don’t like the texture of soft broccoli, add them to the slow cooker one hour or half an hour before the end of cooking time.
- Some Cajun seasoning brands have a lot of salt. Make sure to taste adjust your seasoning, you may need less salt than stated in the recipe.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for best results because it melts better in the Alfredo sauce.

This was great - made some changes after reading reviews; seasoned flour and dredged the chicken; added pesto to broth and seasonings. Prepared half block of cream cheese, about 1 cup Heavy cream, grated fresh parm and 1/2 c of grated cheddar on stove top. Added broccoli and shredded carrots with about an hour left to cook; added Alfredo mixture to crock pot about 20 minutes left to cook. Consistency and texture was perfect!

Flavor was alright but this needs to be thickened.

For my family of 6 i doubled the the sauce recipe & thickened sauce at the end with roux (2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp seasoned flour) & 1 tbsp corn starch slurry. I only added 1/4 of the Cajun seasoning. This was so darn delicious! We all devoured it!

This dish was perfect. My daughter had been bothering me to make chicken Alfredo and making Alfredo sauce is not my specialty but my daughter loved it. Nice recipe!

My Husband and I loved this, there were no leftovers! I tweaked some things, 1. I cooked the chicken first witht the seasonings and then shredded it. Then i used half of the liquid ingredients, added half a block of cream cheese and finish it off by adding some cooked egg noodles. Yum!
