Description

How to make Crockpot Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with tender chicken, rich garlic sauce, and savory parmesan that’s an easy family favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Components:
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup chicken broth, low-sodium
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • Flavor Builders:
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Seasonings & Thickener:
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • Finishing Touches:
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until fragrant and softened. This builds a robust flavor base for your Crockpot Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken. Don’t rush this step for maximum flavor.
  2. Whisk Sauce: In your crockpot, whisk together cream cheese, heavy cream, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until mostly smooth, ensuring a creamy foundation for the chicken.
  3. Add Chicken: Place chicken breasts directly into the sauce in the crockpot. Add the sautéed garlic and onion. Ensure the chicken is mostly submerged to absorb all those wonderful flavors while it cooks.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1.5-2 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shredded. The chicken should be fork-tender, not dry. This slow cooking creates the perfect Crockpot Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken.
  5. Thicken & Shred: Remove chicken, shred, then return to the pot. Stir in Parmesan cheese and the cornstarch slurry, mixing well to emulsify and thicken the sauce. Cook on high for 15 minutes, until rich and creamy.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Stir in fresh parsley and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve your delicious Crockpot Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan. A warm, comforting meal awaits!

Notes

Thoroughly mix the cornstarch slurry for perfect, creamy sauce, avoiding a watery result.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days; reheat gently with a splash of liquid.

Chicken thighs are an excellent substitute for breasts, often staying even more tender and juicy.

Serve warm over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.

Prep garlic and onion a day ahead to save time; cooked dish flavors deepen overnight.

Briefly sear chicken breasts before slow cooking to build incredible depth of flavor.
