Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the base of the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
Rub the spice mixture thoroughly over all sides of each chicken breast.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring you pour around the edges to keep the seasoning on the meat.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese.
Stir the cream and cheese mixture into the slow cooker during the final 30 minutes of cooking until the sauce is thickened and creamy.
Remove chicken and serve warm.
Notes
Use chicken breasts of uniform thickness to ensure they finish cooking at the same time. To thicken the sauce further, you may uncover the slow cooker for the final 30 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
