Creamy Garlic Chicken made in the slow cooker is the perfect weeknight dinner! The chicken breast slow cooks all day in a creamy garlic Alfredo sauce with spinach and tomatoes. Our family loves it served over spaghetti, or served with a side of green beans. This easy dinner recipe is adult and kid approved!

Dinner time is a constant struggle in our house with the never ending sports practice and games. This past month they added another hockey practice a week onto my 9 year old’s schedule which means goodbye to quiet Monday nights. Monday’s are just another day of the week when I have to feed the kids and be out of the house by 5 pm.

Most days I spend juggling my time trying to work from home and entertain a toddler before the 3pm after school rush begins. With our busy weeknights, quick and easy dinner recipes make the nights go by a lot smoother. My favorite meals are crock pot meals, I can prep them in the morning or even a month beforehand and the crockpot does the rest of the work. The crock pot freezer meals, are even a bigger time saver but I don’t always have a lot to choose from in the freezer.

This Creamy Garlic Chicken Alfredo is a family favorite and is so easy to make. You can easily turn it into a freezer meal by placing all the ingredients, minus the spinach in a zip lock bag and freeze until ready to use.

If you have a favorite homemade alfredo sauce, you can make it with that. Or you can pick up your favorite Alfredo Sauce at the grocery store.
