EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Dark meat is ideal for slow cooking. Chicken thighs will maintain their flavor and tenderness through long simmering, while chicken breasts often become dry and stringy.

If your container of Alfredo sauce is larger than 16 ounces, measure 2 cups for this recipe.

Try spaghetti or linguine in place of the fettuccine.

Bake Pillsbury ® Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls while the fettuccine cooks. A tossed green salad and melon wedges complete the menu.

This turned out really good and had a very nice flavor. I have a 6-qt. slow cooker, so I doubled the recipe. I used chicken breast meat because that's what I had in the freezer, 2 jars of cheesy garlic parmesan alfredo sauce, a jar of sweet red peppers and sherry cooking wine. I cooked it on low for 5 hours, added the broccoli, and continued cooking on low for about 1-1/2 hours, then added the cooked fettuccine. I sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top, and served it with a loaf of garlic bread. Yummy!

This wasn't a bad meal-- it just lacked any flavor. No one in my family liked it. A big disappointment...
