Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken

The concept of semi-homemade is one that I have adopted slowly. I like to use whole foods and less processed ingredients when possible. However, once in a while using a canned soup, a jarred sauce, or a flavor packet will help me get a meal on the table easier, faster, and still create the flavor that I want.

This Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken uses a jarred Alfredo sauce, and that is the only semi-homemade part of the recipe. You can use heavy cream and garlic, salt & pepper if you wish, and it will still be delicious!

Here’s how you make Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken:

I like to serve Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken over linguini or fettuccine noodles, but you can serve it over any pasta you have on hand. You could also serve it or over mashed potatoes, or even gnocchi (very Italian) or rice, which is wonderful in the sauce.

I really like the pretty colors in this recipe. It makes for a nice presentation, which is a bonus when serving this dish to your guests.

For a side vegetable, broccoli goes well with this dish. I also like to serve asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or a bright side salad.

Recipe Notes

*If you don't have, or don't want to use jarred Alfredo sauce, you can use 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and 3 cloves of garlic (pressed or very finely minced). You can thicken the sauce a little with extra parmesan cheese.
