Ingredients
Here’s everything you need to create a meal that feels like a comforting embrace:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Feel free to swap the heavy cream for coconut milk or use shredded mozzarella if you’re out of Parmesan — cooking is all about making it work with what you have!
Instructions
Let’s dive into the process of making this delightful dish:
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the garlic to your crockpot, then add the chicken breasts.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, ensuring the chicken is mostly submerged.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Once done, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
One tip from my kitchen to yours: If you want a thicker sauce, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to let it reduce slightly.
