A warm, comforting Garlic Parmesan Chicken made in the slow cooker, filled with creamy flavors and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts or thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened, full-fat preferred)
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (freshly shredded recommended)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil or lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place chicken breasts or thighs in a single layer at the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. Create the Flavorful Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  3. Make the Sauce Pourable: Stir in the heavy cream or milk to the cheese mixture to create a pourable sauce consistency.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken, spreading with a spoon for even coverage.
  5. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Stir for a Creamy Consistency: About 30 minutes before serving, stir the sauce to incorporate any separated liquids.
  7. Brighten the Dish (Optional): Stir in fresh chopped basil or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, shredding chicken in the crockpot if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently and add a splash of milk if needed.
