Crock Pot Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

This takes just a little bit of prep, but is worth it.  You can add mushrooms or broccoli or both to it to give it a little bit of color.  Some people like to add garlic, but I personally don’t like garlic in alfredo sauce.

Crock Pot Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

1 1⁄2 pounds chicken breast or tenders
2 packages (8 ounces each) white mushrooms, cut into thirds
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, cut into pieces
1 1⁄2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, plus additional for garnish
1 1⁄2 cups whole milk
1 package (1 pound) fettuccini

Spray botton of slow cooker with cooking spray and arrange chicken in a single layer.  Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and paprika.  Top with mushrooms.  In medium sauce pan over medium heat, stir together remaining ingredients, except for the pasta.  Stir constantly.  Heat through and pour over chicken.  Cook on LOW 6-8 hours or HIGH 4-5 hours.  You can add broccoli to crock pot about 2 hours before serving.  Serve over hot fettucini.
