Scale
Here’s a list of all the ingredients you’ll need to create this mouthwatering dish:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for a creamier sauce)

If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t fret. You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer a juicier cut. Out of fresh garlic? Garlic powder works in a pinch, though nothing beats the real deal. Remember, home cooking is flexible—use what you have and make it yours.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal that practically cooks itself:
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Dot the top of the chicken with butter.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shreddable.
- If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in the heavy cream about 30 minutes before serving and allow it to heat through.
- Once done, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
This recipe is a testament to the power of simplicity. It’s all about letting those flavors develop over time, turning your kitchen into a cozy haven of mouthwatering aromas.
