Do you love crockpot meals too?? As a busy mom of 3 who works full time I depend on anything and everything to make my life easier. Being able to pop these 4 ingredients into my slow cooker and have the meat come out moist, cheesy, with a hint of my favorite pesto is my kind of meal. Comfort food at it’s finest. 😉 If you’re all about simple ingredients creating the perfect feel good meal, let me tell you what you need to make this easy crockpot pesto chicken alfredo casserole.

1. HemisFares Pesto (the whole jar)
2. 3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
3. Alfredo sauce (1 jar – or make your own from scratch)
4. 2 cups uncooked noodles (any variety)
5. Garnishes and added yumminess
   1. Grated parmesan cheese
   2. Green onion or chives

Yummy right??!! This meal I can make when I get home from picking the kids up from school because it only takes 2 hours to cook! I speed up the process by dicing the chicken up beforehand into small bite size pieces which makes them super tender in the end and much easier for the kids (and I) to eat because there is no cutting involved when I serve it. Serve it with a side salad and you’ve got the creamiest most delicious meal ever!

What makes the sauce so good…..well the combination of both the alfredo and HemisFares Pesto create the most delicious flavor everyone will love. This is also a great meal for last minute planning since it is easy to throw together, and something I always have on hand.

I keep frozen chicken breasts in the freezer for “just in case busy days”, and the other jarred items are stocked in my pantry so I always know I have a feel good crockpot meal ready to go when I need it.

Ingredients

• 1 jar Hemisfares Pesto 4.58 oz.
• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 jar alfredo sauce 16 oz.
• 1/2 c parmesan cheese more if desired
• 2 c uncooked noodles

Instructions

1. Cut your chicken into bite size pieces.

2. Pour them into your crockpot and cover with the entire bottle of Hemisfares Pesto, stir well so all pieces are coated.

3. Pour 1/2 of your bottle of alfredo sauce on top of that.  Stir or leave alone, either is fine.

4. Put your lid on and set on low for 2 hours (or until chicken is nice and tender like you like it).

5. On the stovetop cook noodles and when pesto chicken alfredo is done, pour cooked noodles in and mix well with the rest of your alfredo sauce and parmesan cheese. Put lid on for 5 more minutes to warm and then Serve!

6. * optional - can stir in uncooked noodles after 2 hours with remaining sauce, stir, and continue cooking for another 30-45 minutes or until noodles are desired tenderness. There will be less sauce in the end if you do it this way and we prefer adding cooked noodles, but both are delicious.
