Simple, easy, beautiful recipe that yields a stupendous result as written! I am definitely sharing with the college kid who is learning to cook…and a recipe that turns out is a great confidence builder!
I always see recipes and think well I would like that, but I have a dif cut of the same animal… so I will share how it went with tenders 🙂
I used one grocery store flat pack of semi frozen tenders. Threw them in, in one layer, in a 2.5 qt casserole crock pot, and used ground salt and garlic powder (my garlic salt looked a bit, out of date and lumpy lol).
set the dial to high, and walked away for about an hour and a half, and the edge pieces were getting browned…so I flipped them, re-seasoned and went another hour (I would say CHECK if using smaller pieces or a dif size crock pot). tasted a piece (it was heavenly)…and drained the liquid off. Used one normal sized jar of Classico Garlic Alfredo and put the lid in and gave it 20 minutes ( I was worried it get runny). Ended up going 30 minutes.
I couldn’t decide between this and the broccoli alfredo recipe you also have…so threw that in the microwave fir a side dish. YUM!!!
no pasta…just the chicken and broc.
If i cut the recipe for chicken breast in half, only 3 small breasts (about 1 1/2lb), should i cook for a shorter amount of time? I don’t have a meat thermometer and dont want to over cook chicken.
It definitely will take less time to cook, but I cannot tell you the exact time. I recommend cooking it for 2 hours on high, and then checking it every 15 minutes or so to see if it is done.
Hope this helps ~ Heidi
What a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight dinner!
Thanks, Rebecca! And yes… it really is the perfect meal for those busy weeknights! 🙂
Can I put the chicken AND Alfredo in the crockpot and cook them at the same time?
Hi Rose ~ you’ll want to cook it per the instructions above to ensure the sauce is thick, delicious, and not watered down. Hope that helps!
I accidentally bought thighs instead of breasts. Will it still work and if so, will i have to alter anything?
What size crock pot did you make this in? What changes would I need to make if I doubled the recipe? Is there a way to use frozen chicken breasts? This look delicious!
Hi,
It says to cook on high for 3 hours – could I cook on low for 6 hours or will that dry out the chicken too much?
Thanks!
Hi Heather ~ absolutely… you can cook on LOW for 6 hours if you prefer. Enjoy!! 🙂
