Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, mix the chicken broth, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sliced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
- Add the cubed cream cheese and heavy cream to the slow cooker. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Cook on LOW for another 15 minutes, uncovered, to allow the sauce to set.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts. Adjust cooking time if necessary.
- Serve this creamy chicken over cooked pasta, white rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the sauce during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
