Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasonings
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Sauce Components
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sundried tomatoes, oil drained
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic and onion evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper on top to season the chicken thoroughly.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the chicken broth until completely dissolved to avoid lumps. Pour this mixture directly over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
- Add Cream and Tomatoes: Pour the heavy cream over the chicken and broth mixture. Next, drain the oil from the sundried tomatoes and add them evenly over the dish to incorporate their rich flavor.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on the low setting for 8 hours. This slow cooking process will tenderize the chicken and allow all flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the creamy Marry Me Chicken over your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, noodles, or steamed vegetables for a comforting meal.
