  • Prep 25 min
  • Total 6 hr 25 min
  • Servings 5

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 (4.5-oz.) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper strips (from a jar)
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry, if desired
  • 1 (16-oz.) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 3 cups Frozen Broccoli Cuts
  • 10 oz. uncooked fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 1
    In 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker, layer chicken, mushrooms and roasted pepper strips. Drizzle with sherry. Evenly pour Alfredo sauce on top.
  • 2
    Cover; cook on low setting for 5 to 6 hours.
  • 3
    About 25 minutes before serving, rinse broccoli with warm water to thaw; drain well. Add broccoli to chicken mixture. Increase heat setting to high; cover and cook an additional 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain.
  • 4
    Just before serving, stir cooked fettuccine into chicken mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

  • 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.
  • Instead of using pasta, try serving this creamy Alfredo chicken over a bed of rice. Or for a low-carb version, replace pasta with zoodles!
  • This meal would taste great served alongside buttery, garlic bread.
  • Fresh broccoli can easily take the place of the frozen called for in this recipe.
