Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Cooked pasta or rice (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.

    Sauté Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

      Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: In your crockpot, place the seasoned chicken breasts. Pour the sautéed garlic on top. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently to combine.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is fork-tender.

          Final Touch: Once cooked, shred the chicken in the sauce using two forks, then stir in the remaining Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

            Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the creamy garlic Parmesan chicken over cooked pasta or rice, if desired.
