This week I am sharing this Crock Pot Chipotle Chicken Alfredo recipe and my crock pot Friday recipe! It's a two for on slow cooker recipe kind of week!
Homemade Alfredo Sauce recipe
Do you love rich and creamy chicken Alfredo with an extra kick of spicy goodness? I do! I love making my homemade Alfredo sauce recipe then adding another flavor note to it to make a totally new Crock-Pot® recipe.
Why is my homemade Alfredo sauce so easy to make? Well, it's not like some of those other Alfredo recipes you may have seen where you need cream cheese or heavy cream. Two ingredients that you probably don't have on hand.
This Alfredo recipe is made with milk, butter, flour, fresh Parmesan cheese, a dash of salt and ground pepper.
You probably have all the ingredients on hand right now. Then you will need some boneless skinless chicken breasts and chipotle peppers in adobe sauce to turn this creamy, spicy Alfredo sauce into the best Chicken Alfredo recipe you ever made.
I've been making this homemade Alfredo sauce for years. It's makes the creamiest Alfredo sauce you will ever taste.
When I was a child my mom used to make this homemade white sauce and serve it over vegetables. One day I had a bad craving for fettuccine Alfredo but I didn't have any jarred Alfredo sauce on hand.
I decided to tweek my moms white sauce recipe into an Alfredo sauce recipe. I'm so glad I did. This Alfredo sauce recipe has turned out to be one of the best homemade recipes I have ever made.
