This Rich & Creamy Crock-Pot Chicken Is Pure Weeknight Magic

If there’s one thing I’ll always make room for, it’s comfort food—especially when it cooks itself. With summer almost here, using the oven less is a great idea. Crock-Pot meals are my weeknight lifesavers, and this Creamy Italian Chicken is rich, savory, and surprisingly easy to throw together. With sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and Parmesan swimming in heavy cream, this dish tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Bonus: it makes your kitchen smell like an Italian bistro.

I love comfort food. Chicken dishes are always a crowd pleaser and this one will not disappoint. I decided it was time for something a little thicker and heavier than I’ve been making lately. Creamy, delicious Italian Chicken. It is sooooo good. Cream and cheese with a little tart from the sun-dried tomatoes = Heaven. This is also a great recipe to double and freeze the leftovers for later.

Comfort food doesn’t get easier—or tastier—than this slow-cooked Italian chicken.
