1 Ingredients

Qty	Item
2 lbs 900 g	Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 tbsp 30 g	Minced Garlic
8 oz 225 g	Cream Cheese
1 cup 100 g	Grated Parmesan Cheese
0.5 cup 120 ml	Chicken Broth
0.5 cup 120 ml	Heavy Cream
1 tsp 5 g	Italian Seasoning
0.5 tsp 2 g	Red Pepper Flakes

2 Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker and season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and minced garlic, then pour the mixture over the chicken.

Slice the cream cheese into cubes and scatter them over the chicken breasts.

Cover and cook on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 6-7 hours until the chicken is tender.

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the pot.

Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.

·
For the smoothest sauce, use a block of Parmesan and grate it yourself to avoid anti-clumping agents.
·
To make the dish even heartier, stir in a few handfuls of fresh spinach during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
·
If the sauce is too thick, splash in a little more chicken broth; if too thin, let it sit uncovered for 10 minutes after stirring.
·
Searing the chicken in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side before adding to the crock pot adds a deeper savory flavor.
