Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 tbsp butter cubed
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan plus more for serving
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream optional
  • fresh parsley chopped, for serving

Instructions

  • Load the crockpot: Add the chicken, butter, garlic, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the crockpot.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F and is fork-tender.
  • Build the sauce: Stir in the parmesan and heavy cream, if using, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes on low.
  • Finish: Spoon the sauce over the chicken and top with extra parmesan and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Simpler than an Alfredo-style sauce on purpose, no cream cheese layering, just butter/broth/parmesan, so it works over rice or potatoes too.
