What You’ll Need
To get that deep, “simmered-all-day” flavor, we are adding four specific ingredients to the chicken and Alfredo sauce:
-
Chicken Breasts: 1.5 to 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
-
Store-Bought Alfredo Sauce: One 15-oz jar of your favorite brand.
-
Minced Garlic: 3 tablespoons (don’t be shy—the slow cooker mellows the bite).
-
Italian Seasoning: 1 tablespoon for that herbaceous depth.
-
Parmesan Cheese: 1/2 cup shredded (this thickens the sauce and adds saltiness).
-
Red Pepper Flakes: 1/2 teaspoon (optional, for a tiny hint of warmth).
