Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 8 ounces fettuccine, broken in half
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until browned but not cooked through.
  • Add the chicken to the crock pot. Mix together the whole milk, chicken broth, and garlic, and pour it over the chicken. Cook on high heat for 2–3 hours, or low heat for 4–5 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and cover with foil to keep warm. Add the fettuccine to the crock pot and stir to coat in the sauce. Cover and cook on high heat for 30 minutes, until tender. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
  • Slice the chicken and add it to the fettuccine in the crock pot. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan and fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Recipe Tips
  • Brown the chicken first for extra flavor and better texture in the finished dish.
  • Stir the pasta halfway through cooking to prevent sticking.
  • Shred Parmesan from a block for the smoothest sauce.
  • Add a splash of broth or milk when reheating to loosen the sauce.
  • To thicken the sauce, add a quick cornstarch slurry, or add extra cream or Parmesan cheese. For the slurry, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water, then add it to the sauce and stir.
  • Add vegetables such as broccoli florets or asparagus, julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes, or top it with crumbled bacon after cooking.
