Description

A rich and creamy slow-cooked chicken dish infused with garlic, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • To taste: salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the boneless chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spread out for consistent cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the creamy blend over the chicken, making sure the chicken is well coated.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for about 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a bit of water in a separate bowl, adding it to the slow cooker 30 minutes before serving.
  6. Just before serving, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce, creating a rich, creamy experience.

Notes

Monitor cooking times, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed. For variations, consider vegan options or adding spices.
