Let’s Make it together

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and chopping garlic. Lay out your chicken breasts on a clean cutting board; they’re ready for some serious love!

Sear the Chicken: In a heated skillet with olive oil, sear each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides—about 4-5 minutes per side. You want them looking gorgeous!

Add Aromatics and Sauce Ingredients: In your crock pot, combine heavy cream, soy sauce, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Give it a good stir until combined.

Combine Everything in the Crock Pot: Place your seared chicken breasts into the mixture and make sure they are fully coated. Don’t be shy; give them a gentle toss!

Cook Low and Slow: Cover your crock pot and set it to low heat for about 4-6 hours or high heat for 2-3 hours. The aroma will drive you wild!

Add Finishing Touches Before Serving: Once cooked through and tender, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over top and stir gently until melted. Consider adding spinach now if you’re feeling green!

Serve and Enjoy!: Plate up this dreamy chicken alongside rice or pasta to soak up that delicious sauce—your taste buds will thank you!

This journey from raw ingredients to heavenly home-cooked goodness has never been easier or tastier! Just remember to grab extra napkins—this dish can get messy in all the best ways!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by seasoning the chicken generously before searing it. This enhances flavor before slow cooking. Once it’s perfectly browned, throw in your vegetables before adding the sauce, ensuring that every bite is packed with goodness.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out the chicken for turkey or add veggies like bell peppers or spinach. You can also play with spices—try adding some chili flakes if you enjoy a bit of heat!

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. To reheat, warm on low heat in a skillet until heated through, adding a splash of broth if needed to maintain creaminess.

Cooking this dish reminds me of a dinner party where my friends couldn’t stop raving about how delicious it was. The compliments kept coming, and I felt like a culinary rockstar that night!
