Description
Make this simple, flavorful Crockpot Marry Me Chicken for an easy weeknight meal that tastes impressive. This dump-and-go slow cooker recipe features tender chicken in a rich, creamy Parmesan sauce with sun-dried tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt.
- Pour the cream mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Scatter the chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
- Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
- Pour the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and stir well.
- Cook on high, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts. Adjust cooking time if necessary.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce without using cornstarch, you can skip step 7 and simply let the sauce reduce slightly during the last 30 minutes of cooking on high heat.
- Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for the best flavor.
