Since I moved to the states I've always had a small love for the slow cooker. My problem is I've never been a big fan of soups. So finding a hit recipe for the slow cooker that is not a soup is a win for me.
Today I'm doing Chicken mushroom Alfredo in the slow cooker. It's a simple recipe and smells amazing. And tastes it to. So here is the recipe.
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts. (I used 2 and that worked out about just right)
2 packages of cretinism mushrooms (I cut mine into long quarters)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 packages of cream cheese (8oz size)
2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cups of Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups milk
Pasta one box of.
Spray the crock pot with non stick spray. Cut the chicken into strips and then add to the crock pot in a single layer. Place the mushrooms evenly over the chicken and then season with salt, pepper and the garlic powder.
In a medium sized saucepan place the cream cheese, butter, Parmesan cheese and milk, stir together over medium heat. Whisk the sauce continuously until smooth and heated through.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and mushrooms, pushing down any mushrooms that float to the top. Cover and cook on LOW 4-5 hours.
When ready to serve cook the pasta according to the instructions on the box. Either spoon desired amount of sauce on top of pasta or you can add the pasta to the slow core and mix covering the pasta in sauce.
If wanted you can serve with extra Parmesan cheese.
Now my family loved this. And we can't wait to do this again. But there are some changes that I will make. For expat I will add more garlic powder at the beginning. I would also cut down the butter to maybe one stick. But I haven't tried these adjustments out yet so I don't know how different it will make.
