Description

A creamy and flavorful slow-cooked version of the popular Marry Me Chicken, featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich sauce made with heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Generously season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned chicken breasts for 3-5 minutes per side until they are lightly browned. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this stage.
  3. Transfer the seared chicken to a plate and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the all-purpose flour to create a roux, cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
  6. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, then the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning until the sauce is smooth.
  7. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for a few minutes until it begins to thicken.
  8. Pour the thickened sauce into the bottom of your crockpot. Arrange the seared chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
  9. Evenly distribute the chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken.
  10. Cover the crockpot and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or on LOW for 5-6 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
  11. Garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta.

Notes

  • This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta.
  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
