Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Sandwiches

Rich chicken alfredo flavors served up with sundried tomatoes, parmesan, and spinach on a hamburger bun.

I really liked this recipe but I did modify it slightly because I feel like the storebought alfredo sauce got watered down with the slow cooking. I drained off the little excess liquid and tossed the cooked chicken with more alfredo sauce. You can do sundried tomatoes or roasted grape tomatoes. I think I'd prefer adding parmesan to the actual end product rather than serving it on top. All-in-all, a really good recipe that you can adjust to your liking.

Crockpot Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Wild Rice Soup

Chicken and wild rice soup and broccoli cheese soup combined with a secret ingredient that ties it all together.

I don't know if it's strictly a Minnesota/Midwest thing, but I grew up eating my grandma's wild rice and chicken soup. It was perfect for all those chilly and cold days and it definitely has all those memories of being a comfort food. I was looking forward to making this recipe because it's a combination of that with another favorite soup, broccoli cheese soup. What could be better than two of my favorite soups together? Made in a crockpot? Not much, I tell you what.

It's a stick-to-your-ribs soup and it's absolutely comfort food. All the cheese and the bacon alone is total comfort, but then you have broccoli and chicken and wild rice. YUM! Plus the secret ingredient: alfredo sauce. Yes! Alfredo adds a creamy, garlic savoriness to this already amazing soup. It sounds like a lot, but all the ingredients work together so so well.

Hello, friends! It has been such a long time since I have participated in a Sunday Supper event (since November - wow!!), but I am back for today's EASY SPRING DISHES event. It is hosted by Anne of Simple and Savory. Spring makes me think of not only lemon and asparagus, but HAM. Maybe that's because of Easter, but oh my goodness, give me all the ham, please!!

This recipe is something I never would have tried years ago because I didn't like alfredo. Now that I love alfredo, I thought it sounded like the perfect thing to put into scalloped potatoes to make them rich and creamy. I was on point with that assessment. This would be a great side dish for Easter, but is also a wonderful main dish recipe because if you do have a bigger portion, it is filling. I love that it also has a veggie in it! The scalloped potatoes I grew up on had no veggies and little beef meatballs, so this is quite different from that.

The original recipe called for Swiss cheese - I am sure if you love Swiss, it would be great in this. However, no one in my little family likes it, so I subbed in mozzarella and gruyere.

I can only attest to having two "blackened" foods and that is blackened tuna steak at a restaurant and this recipe. I think it's a pretty fantastic method of cooking and the crust of seasoning is so freaking delicious. However, I'm going to be honest and say I was totally skeptical of alfredo nachos. It took me many years to even touch alfredo and then I was still not completely sold on it. I still prefer homemade alfredo over jarred, but I will say that Classico brand makes some delicious four-cheese alfredo sauce and that is what I used in this recipe.

I was throughly pleased with how this dish turned out and impressed with how tasty it was. The alfredo was the perfect creamy compliment to the crunchy spiced crust of the chicken. The tomatoes were the perfect burst of flavor. I really love being surprised by new dishes and getting out of my comfort zone. You never know what will happen, right?!
