Indulge in this restaurant-quality Marry Me Chicken, a rich and creamy Italian-inspired dish prepared effortlessly in your slow cooker. Featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a velvet-smooth sauce of sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, garlic, and aromatic Italian herbs, this meal is as sophisticated as it is simple. The low-and-slow cooking process ensures the chicken remains incredibly moist, while the sun-dried tomatoes provide the perfect acidic brightness to balance the luscious cream base. It is the ultimate foolproof dinner for busy weeknights or special occasions alike.

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into the base of a 6-quart slow cooker.
Scatter the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic over the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the cream mixture over the chicken and tomatoes.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Once the chicken is tender, shred it directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
Serve warm, optionally over pasta or with crusty bread.

Notes

Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for the best depth of flavor. For a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
