Cooking Steps

  • Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Place seasoned chicken in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.
  • Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  • Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
  • To thicken the sauce, remove chicken, make a cornstarch slurry, and stir it into the sauce; cook on high for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  • Return shredded chicken to the sauce or serve whole, then garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs.

Notes

Cooking times may vary based on your slow cooker. For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
