Step-by-Step Instructions for Dump & Go MARRY ME CHICKEN – Creamy, Dreamy, Crockpot Magic!
This process is so simple that it is almost hard to mess up. Just remember that every slow cooker runs a little bit differently. I usually recommend cooking this on high for three to four hours or on low for six to eight hours. One big secret is to whisk your cream and cheese together before you add them at the very end. This helps prevent any curdling and keeps your sauce looking beautiful and smooth.
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, mix together your seasonings, garlic, and chicken broth.
- Pour that broth mixture and the sun-dried tomatoes right over the chicken.
- Cover and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- About 30 minutes before you are ready to serve, stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
Expert Tips for Perfect Dump & Go MARRY ME CHICKEN – Creamy, Dreamy, Crockpot Magic!
If you want the absolute best flavor, try to find the sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil in a glass jar. That oil is like liquid gold and adds so much punch to the dish. When it comes time to serve, I love putting this chicken over a big bed of pasta or some fluffy mashed potatoes to soak up all that extra sauce. If you want to keep things a bit lighter, zucchini noodles work great too. Just make sure you do not overcook the chicken so it stays nice and juicy for dinner.
