Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

12 oz fettuccine pasta (uncooked)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor profile.

    Create the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Use a whisk to mix until all ingredients are fully blended together and the mixture is smooth.

      Combine Ingredients: Carefully pour the creamy sauce mixture over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.

        Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook the mixture on low for 4 to 5 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

          Add Broccoli: Approximately 30 minutes before you are ready to serve, add the broccoli florets to the slow cooker. Gently stir them into the creamy sauce to ensure even cooking.

            Cook the Pasta: About 15 minutes before serving, cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions in a pot of boiling salted water. Once cooked, drain the pasta but reserve a small amount of the pasta water for adjustment later, if needed.

              Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the slow cooker, stirring well to coat the chicken in the creamy sauce.

                Combine Pasta & Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the slow cooker, gently tossing it with the creamy chicken and broccoli mixture. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, stir in a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired creamy consistency.

                  Serve: Dish out the creamy chicken Alfredo with broccoli onto warm plates. For an added touch, garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
