Slow Cooker Marry Me Chicken
Creamy slow cooker Marry Me Chicken made with sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, and tender chicken. An easy, flavorful dinner perfect for busy nights!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water optional, for thickening at the end
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Rub chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Optional, in a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if you're in a rush.
- Place chicken in the slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
- Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours until chicken is tender and cooked through.
- If the sauce is too thin, stir in a slurry of cornstarch + water and cook on high for an additional 10–15 minutes.
- You can shred the chicken in the sauce or serve the breasts whole – either way is delicious!
- Top with fresh basil or parsley and serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
