Tender chicken breasts are slow-cooked with a medley of fresh vegetables in a creamy garlic sauce infused with Italian seasoning, creating a rich and satisfying dish that’s simple to prepare and sure to please the whole family.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Vegetables

  • 4 cups of mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, bell peppers)

Sauce

  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Arrange Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to infuse flavor.
  3. Add Vegetables: Layer the mixed vegetables, including carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers, on top of the seasoned chicken.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, chicken broth, and heavy cream until thoroughly combined.
  5. Combine and Cook: Pour the creamy garlic sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover with the lid.
  6. Slow Cook: Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  7. Serve: Once cooked, serve the creamy garlic chicken and veggies hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking time based on your slow cooker’s heat settings and chicken thickness.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a non-dairy cream alternative.
  • Add other vegetables such as zucchini or mushrooms for more variety.
  • Use fresh garlic for more pungent flavor, or garlic powder as a convenient alternative.
  • Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta to soak up the creamy sauce.
