Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and combined. This will take about 5 minutes.
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
Once the cooking time is complete, gently shred the chicken with two forks or leave it whole, depending on your preference.
Serve hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes, topped with chopped fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
