Description
This creamy Crockpot Marry Me Chicken dish features boneless chicken breasts slow-cooked in a savory parmesan-ranch cream sauce, making it a perfect weeknight dinner that’s both comforting and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5–2 lbs)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium if preferred)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best)
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (about 2–3 cloves)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in the slow cooker.
- Whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan until smooth.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure each breast is at least partially covered.
- Cover and cook on low for 360–480 minutes or on high for 180–240 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm doneness — chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks, then stir the shredded pieces into the sauce until evenly coated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid and cook on high for 20–30 minutes to reduce.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
This recipe can be meal-prepped and is ideal for potlucks. You can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter finish if needed. Serve it over pasta, rice, or alongside roasted veggies for a complete meal.
