Make this easy crockpot marry me chicken for a flavorful, creamy dinner that requires minimal prep. This dump and go slow cooker recipe uses sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan for a rich sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry Italian dressing mix
  • 1 packet (0.25 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the Italian dressing mix and ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
  3. Pour the chicken broth over the top.
  4. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic around the chicken.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, and cold water until smooth. This creates your slurry.
  8. Stir the cream mixture into the slow cooker with the chicken and sauce.
  9. Cook on HIGH for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  10. Serve the crock pot chicken over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use chicken breasts that are relatively uniform in thickness so they cook evenly.
  • If you prefer using chicken thighs, reduce the cooking time slightly, as thighs cook faster than breasts.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; the sauce thickens more as it cools.
  • If you do not have sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, use dry-packed and soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before chopping.
