Easy, creamy slow cooker chicken and mushroom pasta recipe, homemade with simple ingredients. Full of alfredo sauce, sauteed mushrooms, parmesan cheese and Italian herbs.
Yield: 6 People
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1 package White mushrooms, Cleaned, Diced, 8 oz. package
- 1-2 Chicken breasts, Large, I only used 1 large chicken breast because I wanted a stronger mushroom flavor
- 2 jars Alfredo sauce, 15 oz. each
- 1/2 cup Condensed cream of mushroom soup , Can be replaced with cream of chicken soup
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- Salt, To taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 pound Spaghetti , Boiled and drained
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Freshly grated or shredded
- 1 tbsp Basil, Or parsley, Fresh, Roughly chopped, For topping
- 1/4 tsp Red chili flakes, Optional, For topping
Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms and saute them until excess water is evaporated and they are golden brown.
Transfer this to a large greased crockpot (6 quart or larger).
Add chicken breasts, alfredo sauce, condensed cream of mushroom soup, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper.
Mix until combined.
Cover and cook on Low heat for 2.5-3 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken breasts and use a sharp knife to cut them into small cubes OR use two forks to shred them.
Add the meat back into the slow cooker and mix everything gently.
Mix in boiled/ drained pasta.
Top it all off with parmesan cheese, fresh basil and red chili flakes.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Read all my tips above.
- Tastes best when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. A splash of water or broth may be needed when reheating in the microwave because the pasta would have absorbed a lot of the sauce and become thick.
