Here’s everything you need to make this Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken! (Exact measurements are in the recipe card below.) Chicken Breasts: These will become tender and juicy, soaking up all the delicious sauce. You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer. Salt and Pepper: Basic seasonings that enhance the flavor of the Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken, making it extra delicious. Olive Oil: Helps achieve that perfect sear on the chicken – crispy on the outside and juicy inside! Butter: Adds a creamy, rich texture to the sauce. I used unsalted butter since we add salt separately. Garlic: Provides an amazing aroma and strong savory flavor, making the sauce a burst of flavor. Flour: Thickens the sauce nicely. You could also use a cornstarch slurry as a gluten-free alternative. Chicken Broth: Forms the base of the sauce and adds a savory taste. You can also use chicken stock or vegetable broth as a substitute. Heavy Cream: Makes the sauce incredibly creamy and dreamy. Parmesan Cheese: Melts into the sauce, bringing that salty, cheesy goodness we all love. Sun-Dried Tomatoes: I used jarred sun-dried tomatoes for a sweet and tangy flavor. This is what makes the Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken so delicious, in my opinion. Italian Seasoning: A blend of tasty herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme, giving the sauce that classic Italian taste. Fresh Basil (for garnish): The final touch that makes everything look and smell amazing. It’s like the cherry on top, but better – it’s basil! How to Make Marry Me Chicken in the Slow Cooker Give those chicken breasts a quick sear, then let the Crock Pot work its magic! For the best results, cook on low for 5-6 hours if you have the time. Season: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes on both sides until just browned on the outside. You don’t need to fully cook the chicken as it will continue in the crockpot. Transfer to Plate: Move the cooked chicken to a plate while you prepare the sauce. Make Roux: In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add flour and stir to create a paste. Add Broth, Cheese, and Seasonings: Whisk in the chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer: Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken. Add to Crock Pot: Pour the sauce into the bottom of the crockpot, then layer the chicken on top of the sauce. Add the drained sun-dried tomatoes on top of the chicken. Slow Cook: Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta. Tips and Tricks To
