A creamy and flavorful chicken dish cooked slowly in a Crock Pot, perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a comforting meal with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) For added heat
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of the Crock Pot.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken in the Crock Pot, ensuring the chicken is fully covered.
Cooking
- Set the Crock Pot to low heat and cook for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and juicy.
- About 30 minutes before serving, stir the sauce and check its thickness. If too thin, thicken with a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water).
- Use tongs to plate the chicken, then spoon the sauce over the top. Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning for a couple of hours before cooking. Feel free to add some vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for a nutritious boost. If you’re short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken and simply heat it in the sauce for a quicker meal.
