Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken
A creamy, herb-rich slow cooker chicken dinner with sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan that comes together with just 10 minutes of prep.
Equipment
- Slow Cooker / Crock Pot
- Skillet
- Airtight Storage Container
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for a little heat
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 0.25 cup turkey ham chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. This step enhances the flavor but is optional if you are short on time.
- Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic, thyme, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes to the crock pot. Stir well to combine.
- Place the seared chicken breasts into the crock pot, making sure they're covered by the sauce. Sprinkle in the sun-dried tomatoes and turkey ham for extra richness.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. You can also cook it on high for 2-3 hours if you're in a rush.
- Once done, give the sauce a stir to fully incorporate all the flavors. Garnish with fresh basil and serve the chicken with the creamy sauce over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
