Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts fully thawed before slow cooking
  • 0.5 cup grated parmesan
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Place the fully thawed chicken in the slow cooker with the garlic, butter, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Cover and cook on low for about 5 and a half hours until the chicken is tender. Check the thickest chicken pieces with a thermometer and continue only until they reach 165°F and are tender; start checking after 3 hours because thawed breasts may finish before the stated time.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan until you have a smooth sauce.
  4. Cook for another 20 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly.
  5. Slice the chicken and spoon the garlic parmesan sauce over the top.

Notes

Serve over buttered noodles to soak up every bit of that sauce.
Thaw chicken fully in the refrigerator before beginning. The listed time is a planning estimate; thickness and slow-cooker performance vary.
