Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (preferably garlic Alfredo sauce)
- 1 cup chicken broth (low or no sodium recommended)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Pasta and Cheese
- 20–25 ounce bag frozen cheese ravioli (do not thaw)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish (Optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley or basil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add the chicken breasts, Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper to a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Gently stir to coat the chicken with the sauce evenly.
- Cook Chicken: Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and can be easily shredded.
- Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks or cut into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Add Ravioli: Add the frozen cheese ravioli directly into the crock pot, gently pressing them down so they are coated thoroughly in the sauce. Stir gently to ensure even coverage.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the ravioli and sauce.
- Finish Cooking: Cover and cook on low for another 30 to 40 minutes, or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Avoid overcooking to prevent mushy ravioli. Cooking times may vary by slow cooker, so check for doneness.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped fresh parsley or basil if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- Use low or no sodium chicken broth for a healthier option.
- Do not thaw the frozen ravioli before adding it to the slow cooker to prevent sogginess.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the slow cooker model; always check that chicken is fully cooked and ravioli is tender.
- For thicker sauce, you can reduce the amount of chicken broth or cook uncovered for the last 10 minutes to evaporate excess liquid.
