1 container (10 ounces) refrigerated light alfredo sauce (I used Buitoni)

Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 1-1/2- to 2-Quart.
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and place in the slow cooker.
Pour the jar of sauce over the chicken.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, adding the broccoli to the water during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain.
Stir together the pasta and broccoli and chicken and alfredo. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Using light alfredo sauce instead of regular saves a ton of fat and calories. I used the refrigerated kind, but jarred should be okay too. The sauce thinned out a lot during cooking but was fine once I tossed it with the pasta and broccoli.
