Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter

Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained)

Garnish

  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  3. Assemble in the crockpot: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the crockpot. Pour the prepared creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  4. Add sun-dried tomatoes: Sprinkle the drained chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly on top of the chicken and sauce for added texture and flavor.
  5. Slow cook the chicken: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Add butter and stir: About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, add the butter to the crockpot. Stir gently to melt the butter and combine it into the sauce, enriching its flavor and texture.
  7. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, garnish the dish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve the creamy Marry Me Chicken with your choice of rice, pasta, or bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but it may be less rich.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder flavor.
  • Using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil gives more flavor; if using dry ones, rehydrate in warm water before adding.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked by checking it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently to preserve creaminess.
