Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients

• 1½-2 lbs chicken breast
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 tbsp minced garlic (or 3-4 cloves, finely diced)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Seasonings:

• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Optional Toppings:

• fresh chopped basil
• red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the seasoning ingredients.
2. Sprinkle about half of the seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts and gently rub it into the chicken. Then, lay the chicken pieces into the bottom of the crock pot.
3. Add the tomato sauce, chicken broth, garlic and the rest of the seasoning mix to the crock pot. Lay the slices of butter on top of the chicken. Put the cover on.
4. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
5. Once chicken is done, you can either shred it, cut it into smaller pieces or leave it whole. (Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165℉ and is tender when cut.)
6. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Cook on LOW uncovered for another 10-15 minutes to help sauce warm and thicken slightly. This creates a rich, pourable sauce, which is how we enjoy it. (Looks like the pictures but if you prefer it extra thick, see the recipe notes below.)
7. Serve as is or top with red pepper flakes and fresh basil. Use that extra sauce to serve this over pasta, rice or vegetables.
