Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
- Red pepper flakes or cayenne (optional)
- Mozzarella or provolone cheese (optional)
- Coconut milk and nutritional yeast (optional dairy-free alternative)
Instructions
1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Place the chicken in the crockpot and top with minced garlic, chicken broth, and butter.
3. Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F and is tender.
4. Remove the chicken, then stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan. Cook on low for 15 minutes.

Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
Choose real Parmesan for maximum creaminess.
Cooking on low ensures tender, juicy chicken.
Shred the chicken for a saucier dish or slice for a cleaner presentation.
Let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving.
