Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Season the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot. Sprinkle with onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
- Finish the Sauce: Once done, stir the sauce in the crockpot to ensure everything is well combined. For a thicker sauce, you can remove the chicken and let the sauce simmer in a saucepan for a few minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Use bone-in chicken thighs for extra flavor if desired, but remove the bones before serving.
- Add mushrooms or spinach for additional texture and nutrients.
- Adjust the sauce consistency with extra cream or by reducing it on the stove.
