Dump and Go Crockpot Marry Me Chicken

This easy slow-cooker version of the popular “Marry Me Chicken” combines tender chicken, a creamy Parmesan sauce, and savory sun-dried tomatoes. Just dump the ingredients into the crockpot and let it do the work.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (drained if packed in oil)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
3. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and minced garlic over the chicken.
4. Cover and cook:
   • Low: 4–6 hours
   • High: 2–3 hours
5. Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, stir the sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the crockpot. Cover and cook for another 15–20 minutes.
6. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve over:

• Pasta
• Mashed potatoes
• Rice
• Cauliflower rice
• Crusty bread for soaking up the sauce

Tips

• Chicken thighs stay especially juicy in the slow cooker.
• Add a handful of fresh spinach during the last 15 minutes of cooking for extra color and nutrition.
• For a little heat, add ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes.
