Description

Creamy, cozy, and bursting with garlicky goodness, this Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken is the kind of comfort food that feels restaurant-worthy yet couldn’t be easier. Tender slow-cooked chicken simmers in a rich Parmesan cream sauce, then gets shredded into every silky, flavor-packed bite perfect over pasta, rice, or your favorite veggie sides.

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Pour the creamy garlic Parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure all the pieces are coated.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C).
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate or cutting board and shred it with two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir it into the sauce until everything is well coated and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest, richest sauce pre-shredded cheese can be drier and may not melt as well.
If the sauce looks separated at the end of cooking, a vigorous stir or whisk usually brings it back together.
For a thicker, clingier sauce, let the shredded chicken sit in the crockpot on WARM for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Season lightly at first; Parmesan is naturally salty, so you can always add more salt at the end if needed.
