Crockpot Chicken Garlic Alfredo earned a spot in my regular rotation because it asks so little of me on a busy afternoon. I layer the garlic minced with the parsley, set the crockpot, and let time handle the rest. By evening it tastes like I spent hours at the stove, which I did not.
Ideal for busy weeknights, this recipe falls under the category of Crockpot Recipes, allowing you to set it and forget it while the flavors meld together beautifully.
