Make this easy, creamy slow cooker chicken fettuccine with mushrooms and spinach for a simple weeknight dinner. This dump and go recipe requires minimal hands-on time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Stir in the sliced mushrooms. Cook on high for 30 minutes, or until the mushrooms soften slightly.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the sauce, about 5 minutes.
  7. While the spinach wilts, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  8. Add the cooked and drained fettuccine directly to the slow cooker and stir gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
  9. Serve immediately topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the chicken broth with dry white wine.
  • This recipe works well as a family friendly crockpot dinner.
