Description
Crockpot Marry Me Chicken features tender chicken breasts slow‑cooked in a creamy, garlic‑kissed sauce with sundried tomatoes and herbs—an effortlessly romantic, flavor‑packed one‑pot meal that’ll have everyone at the table swooning.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (for searing)
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry; season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil over medium‑high and sear chicken 2 min per side until golden. Transfer to crockpot.
- Add garlic, sundried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes over the chicken. Pour in chicken broth.
- Cook on LOW for 3–4 hours (or HIGH for ~2 hours) until chicken is fork‑tender.
- Remove chicken briefly. Stir heavy cream and Parmesan into crockpot until smooth; nestle chicken back in to warm through and thicken sauce.
- Garnish with chopped basil and extra Parmesan before serving.
Notes
- Sear chicken first for color and flavor, but you can skip if short on time.
- Swap in boneless, skinless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
- Dairy‑free option: use coconut cream and vegan Parmesan.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or with ciabatta sandwiches.
- Make‑ahead: freeze chicken & sauce for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
