Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Remove from heat.
Place the seared chicken breasts into the crock pot. Pour the chicken broth and garlic mixture over the chicken.
Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, add the heavy cream and crumbled gorgonzola cheese to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine the sauce, making sure the chicken remains covered in the liquid.
Continue cooking on low for another 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the chicken with your choice of side such as rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
