  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Fresh parsley (optional)

  • Lemon slices and cherry tomatoes (optional garnish)

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to the crockpot.

  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Pour in the chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

  • Lower the heat slightly and add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

  • Pour the sauce over the chicken in the crockpot. Add lemon slices and cherry tomatoes if desired.

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours until the chicken is tender and infused with the sauce.

  • Once cooking is done, stir the sauce well. Transfer the chicken to a serving dish, spoon the sauce generously on top, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can replace chicken breasts with chicken thighs for juicier results.

  • Add vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor.

  • If the sauce is too thin, uncover the crockpot during the last 30 minutes or stir in a cornstarch slurry.

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months.
