Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup parmesan cheese (or pecorino)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (or fresh, chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (fresh)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or oregano and basil)
- 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken pieces in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
- In a blender, combine softened cream cheese, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the cheese mixture evenly over the chicken, spreading gently.
- Put the lid on and cook on low for 180 to 240 minutes, or on high for 120 to 180 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken, shred or slice it, then return to the crockpot and stir into the sauce.
- Let sit on warm for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
If sun-dried tomatoes are packed in oil, drain and pat dry. Use softened cream cheese for best blending. Adjust seasoning to taste.
