Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes Adjust to taste for spice level.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in the Crock Pot.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream and Parmesan until smooth. Stir in the red pepper flakes and pour this over the chicken.
  4. Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the chicken is tender.
  5. Once cooked, serve with extra sauce drizzled on top for added flavor.

Notes

To store leftovers, let the chicken cool completely and transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw and warm gently. For a thicker sauce, leave the lid off for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Customizations can include bone-in chicken thighs or adding fresh herbs and vegetables.
