1 packet ranch seasoning
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. This mixture creates a rich sauce that brings everything together.
Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re well coated.
Season with salt and pepper. Just a pinch of each will do!
Cover the crock pot and let it cook on low for 4-6 hours. The chicken will become tender and soak up all those flavorful juices.

How to Store Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken

Leftovers? Great news! Store any uneaten Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, you may want to add a splash of cream or a bit of broth to keep it nice and creamy. If you would like to freeze it, do so in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating!

Tips to Make Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken

For a lighter option, you can replace the heavy cream with a mix of Greek yogurt and a little chicken broth.
If sun-dried tomatoes aren’t available, try using diced tomatoes or even roasted red peppers for a twist.
Add some veggies directly to the crock pot! Spinach, artichokes, or mushrooms can be great additions to make your meal even heartier.
If you’re using frozen chicken breasts, there’s no need to thaw them! Simply cook them a bit longer.

Variation

Switch things up by using turkey breast or chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Both will work beautifully and provide different flavors and textures.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Absolutely! Chicken thighs will add more flavor, and they stay juicy throughout the cooking process.

Is there a dairy-free alternative for heavy cream?
Yes! You can use coconut cream or cashew cream to create a dairy-free version that’s still creamy and delicious.

How do I know when the chicken is done?
Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, the chicken should be tender and no longer pink inside.

Feel free to enjoy this simple yet delightful recipe with your family, and let the slow cooker do the work while you take a moment to unwind. Happy cooking!
