Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic (4-6 cloves)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for searing the chicken.
  2. Season and sear chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Fry them in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches if your pan is small.
  3. Prepare the sauce: While the chicken is searing, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, corn starch, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until smooth and combined.
  4. Slow cook the chicken: Place the seared chicken breasts into a 2.5-4 quart slow cooker. Pour the cream sauce over the chicken, ensuring they are well covered. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for about 3 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, serve the chicken breasts hot, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over the top for maximum flavor.

Notes

  • This dish combines pan searing and slow cooking to create tender chicken with a rich creamy sauce.
  • The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker’s temperature.
  • For best results, use fresh garlic and a heavy cream with good fat content to enhance the sauce’s creaminess.
  • This recipe serves 4 generously sized portions.
