• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips or cubes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 (15-ounce) jars Alfredo Sauce

Instructions:

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

FAQs for Lazy Chicken Alfredo Recipe

1. Can I use frozen chicken breasts for this recipe? Yes, you can use frozen chicken breasts in this recipe. However, it’s essential to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Cook the chicken on high for approximately 4-5 hours or on low for 8-9 hours to ensure it is thoroughly cooked and safe to consume.

2. Can I substitute the Alfredo sauce with a homemade version? Absolutely! While the convenience of using store-bought Alfredo sauce is one of the highlights of this recipe, you can certainly use a homemade version if preferred. Simply replace the jarred sauce with your favorite homemade Alfredo sauce recipe to customize the flavors to your liking.
