Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth low-sodium
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened and cut into a block
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker (6-quart)
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and minced garlic. Pour over the chicken. Place the block of cream cheese on top.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Remove the chicken from the crockpot. Whisk the liquid in the slow cooker until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the chicken to the sauce (whole or shredded) and stir to coat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Tip 1: Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese can make the sauce grainy.
Tip 2: For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 tbsp of cold water and whisk it into the sauce during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
Tip 3: Chicken thighs can be substituted for breasts; they are more forgiving and remain very moist during the slow cooking process.
