Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for richer flavor)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce.
  6. Stir the cornstarch and water mixture (slurry) into the sauce in the crockpot.
  7. Stir well and cook on HIGH for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. This step creates the creamy Parmesan slow cooker finish.
  8. Taste the sauce and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
  9. Serve the crockpot marry me chicken immediately over hot pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • If you prefer using chicken thighs, the cooking time remains similar, but the meat will be more forgiving if slightly overcooked.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, draining off most of the oil before adding them to the mix.
  • This recipe is perfect for a date night slow cooker recipe because the flavor profile is impressive yet the effort is minimal.
  • To make this a crockpot marry me chicken pasta, simply cook 12 ounces of fettuccine or penne pasta separately and toss it directly with the finished chicken and sauce.
