Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Liquids & Sauces
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 (15-ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pasta & Cheese
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Vegetables & Garnish
- 2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot Base: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Pour in the chicken broth and Alfredo sauce. Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot using tongs or a slotted spoon. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return the shredded chicken back into the crockpot.
- Add Pasta and Cream: Add the broken lasagna noodles and heavy cream to the soup. Stir well to combine all ingredients uniformly. Cover the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 30–40 minutes until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
- Add Cheese and Spinach: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheeses, and fresh spinach if using. Cook for another 5–10 minutes until the cheeses melt fully and the soup becomes creamy.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For added flavor depth, sauté fresh garlic and onions before adding them to the crockpot.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version; reduce cooking time accordingly since the chicken is already cooked.
- Substitute gluten-free lasagna noodles if you need a gluten-free option.
