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