Crockpot Marry Me Chicken 💍⏲️ Set It, Forget It, and Fall in Love With Every Bite
Crockpot Marry Me Chicken keeps the creamy-sundried tomato flavor bomb of the original but slow-cooks it to juicy, tender perfection. Serve it over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or straight out of the crock with a spoon.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
- Optional: ½ tsp chili flakes (for heat)
- Optional: 2 cups baby spinach (stirred in at the end)
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prep and Layer
Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Place in crockpot. Top with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chili flakes (if using).
Step 2: Pour and Cook
Pour in chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2½–3 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through (165°F internal temp).
Step 3: Add Cream and Cheese
In the final 20–30 minutes, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan. Let cook uncovered or partially covered to thicken slightly. Add spinach if using and stir until wilted.
Step 4: Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve chicken with plenty of sauce over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley.
Flavor Variations
- Add sliced mushrooms, artichoke hearts, or roasted red peppers
- Use half & half for a lighter version
- Add lemon zest or a splash of white wine for brightness
- Stir in a spoonful of cream cheese for a silkier texture
Pro Tips
- Thicken sauce at the end by leaving the lid off and stirring occasionally
- Want shredded chicken? Pull it apart gently with two forks and stir it back into the sauce
- Store leftovers in an airtight container — sauce gets even better next day
- Serve with garlic bread or grilled veggies for full impact
