Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 ounces Fat-free cream cheese, softened
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the base of your crock pot.
Add the low-sodium chicken broth, minced garlic, chopped onion, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chicken.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours (or high heat for 2.5 hours), until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
Add the softened fat-free cream cheese to the liquid in the crock pot and whisk until smooth and creamy. It may take a few minutes for the cream cheese to fully blend.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix it thoroughly with the creamy sauce.
Cover the crock pot again and cook on low for an additional 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables, brown rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
