  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ cup sun dried tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker, ensuring they are spaced evenly to allow for even cooking.
  2. Make the sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, cornstarch, and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth without lumps.
  3. Add spices and seasoning: Stir the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and paprika into the sauce mixture to build the rich flavor base.
  4. Combine sauce and chicken: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  5. Add finishing touches: Top the chicken and sauce with the sun dried tomatoes and butter pieces for added richness and tang.
  6. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Serve the creamy Marry Me Chicken over cooked pasta, potatoes, or rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Notes

  • For best results, avoid opening the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain temperature and proper cooking time.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer darker meat; adjust cooking time slightly as needed.
  • Sun dried tomatoes add a nice tangy flavor; consider chopping them finely if preferred.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, remove the chicken at the end and simmer the sauce on the stovetop for a few minutes until desired consistency is reached.
  • Freeze leftovers in portion-sized containers for up to 3 months.
