Description

Crockpot Marry Me Chicken is a creamy, sun-dried tomato-infused dish that’s so irresistible, it’s said to inspire marriage proposals. This slow-cooked favorite blends tender chicken, Parmesan, herbs, and garlic for a heartwarming, flavor-packed meal with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.52 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for searing chicken)
  • Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Optional: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place chicken in crockpot and pour sauce over it evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is cooked and shreds easily.
  5. Shred chicken using two forks and stir back into the sauce.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower rice.

Notes

For richer flavor, sear chicken before slow cooking. Adjust sauce consistency with broth or cornstarch slurry. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or veggies like spinach or mushrooms for variety.
