Description

Dump & Go Marry Me Chicken is a slow cooker twist on the viral creamy Tuscan-style chicken recipe — made effortless! With tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich sun-dried tomato cream sauce, this meal is perfect for busy nights, date night dinners, or family favorites.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 (1 oz) packet Italian dressing mix
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)
  • Cooked pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Assemble ingredients: Place chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle with Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add sauce: Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and stir in Parmesan and sun-dried tomatoes.
  3. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Thicken (optional): If desired, remove lid for the last 15 minutes to allow sauce to thicken, or stir in a cornstarch slurry.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve over your choice of pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

You can use boneless thighs for a juicier result. To make it lower carb, serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower mash. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3–4 days.
