Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sauce and Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (preferably oil-packed)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of basil, oregano, thyme)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor before cooking.
  2. Assemble Ingredients in the Crock Pot: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the crock pot. Layer sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, herbs, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes evenly over the chicken to build the flavor base.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender and infused with the sauce flavors.
  4. Create the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese into the crock pot. Allow them to fully melt and thicken the sauce to a silky, luscious consistency.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Mix the sauce well, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the crock pot marry me chicken over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for sweeter, richer flavor compared to dried ones.
  • Don’t skip the Parmesan cheese—it’s essential for the sauce’s creamy richness.
  • Layer garlic and herbs early to allow flavors to deeply infuse the chicken.
  • Check your slow cooker’s cooking times as models vary; adjust time to achieve tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken.
  • After adding the cream and cheese, let the sauce thicken off heat for ideal consistency.
