Slow Cooker Marry Me Chicken
Crockpot Marry Me Chicken is a rich and creamy dish with tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and a flavorful seasoned sauce.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 5 boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 ½ cups chicken stock
- 3 Tbsp. all purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. dried minced Onion (or ¼ teaspoon onion powder)
- ⅓ cup sun dried tomatoes drained
- 4 Tbsp. salted butter
- fresh basil for garnish
- grated or shredded parmesan for garnish
Instructions
- In a frying pan or cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Brown the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on both sides. (The goal here is to brown the outside of the chicken breast, not to cook it through) Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock and flour. In the slow cooker pot, add the chicken stock and flour mixture, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika, minced onion and mix.
- Place the browned chicken breasts into the slow cooker pot and top with the sun dried tomatoes and butter. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
- Serve over pasta, rice or mashed potatoes and garnish with the fresh basil. Enjoy!
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat servings in the microwave.
- Freeze any leftovers in a freeze safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Add 2 cups of spinach about 10 minutes before serving.
- Add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat in your sun dried tomato cream sauce.
- Boneless chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts and the cooking time remains the same.
- Instead of using heavy cream, use half-and-half instead for a slightly lower fat recipe.
- Whole sundried tomatoes are fine to use.
- Cream cheese can be used instead of heavy cream, cube it and add to the slow cooker at the beginning of the cooking time.
- From a regular spaghetti noodle to rotini pasta, you can choose just about any pasta type to pair with this chicken recipe.
- Serving with mashed potatoes will soak up all the wonderful creamy sundried tomato sauce.
- Parmesan or mozzarella cheeses are great toppings for this dice.
- Make it an entire course meal: Use this chicken recipe to create a complete meal by pairing it with green beans, roasted carrots, or even a small side salad.
