Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh parsley (optional)
Lemon slices and cherry tomatoes (optional garnish)
Instructions
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to crockpot.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up brown bits. Let simmer 2 minutes.
Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese; whisk until smooth and creamy.
Pour sauce over the chicken in the crockpot. Add lemon slices and cherry tomatoes if desired.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or until chicken is tender.
Stir the sauce before serving and garnish with parsley.
Notes
You can substitute half-and-half for a lighter version.
Sauce may separate slightly—just whisk before serving.
Pairs beautifully with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
