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, or over potatoes.
