Crockpot Pesto Chicken Alfredo Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 jar Pesto 4.58 oz.
- 3 chicken breasts boneless skinless
- 1 jar alfredo sauce 16 oz.
- 1/2 c parmesan cheese more if desired
- 2 c uncooked noodles
Instructions
- Cut your chicken into bite size pieces.
- Pour them into your crockpot and cover with the entire bottle of Hemisfares Pesto, stir well so all pieces are coated.
- Pour 1/2 of your bottle of alfredo sauce on top of that. Stir or leave alone, either is fine.
- Put your lid on and set on low for 2 hours (or until chicken is nice and tender like you like it).
- 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!
- * 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.
If you’re looking for a deliciously quick slow cooker meal that everyone in your house will enjoy, or something yummy to take to a potluck during the holiday season, this crockpot pesto chicken alfredo casserole is it!
