Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts tender texture
- 1 cup heavy cream rich moisture
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese savory flavor contribution
Flavorings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced aromatic flavor
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning herbal note
- to taste Salt and pepper basic seasoning
- as needed Chopped parsley for garnish freshness
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by preparing the chicken. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot in a single layer. Patting them dry with a paper towel helps ensure better browning and prevents the dish from becoming too watery during cooking.
- Next, mix the sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until it’s smooth and uniform, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated for a creamy and flavorful sauce.
- Pour the creamy blend over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Cooking
- Cover the crockpot and let it cook. You can choose to cook on low for 360-420 minutes (6-7 hours) or on high for 180-240 minutes (3-4 hours). It will be done when the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Finishing Touch
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the crockpot. Stir the shredded meat into the creamy sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
Always pat the chicken dry to achieve better browning. Stir the sauce before pouring to ensure consistency. Don't rush the cooking time for tender results.
