Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (about 2 pounds) Thighs stay moister, breasts cook leaner.
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Room temperature blends best.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Use freshly grated for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped Oil-packed or rehydrated dry-packed will work.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Or 1 teaspoon garlic paste.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Or a pinch each of dried basil, oregano, and thyme.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Low-sodium if you want to control salt.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat each chicken piece dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Put softened cream cheese, Parmesan, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
  3. Pour the cheese and tomato mixture evenly over the chicken so pieces are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Cook until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  2. Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Shred with two forks or slice it, then return the meat to the crockpot and stir it into the sauce.
  3. Let the dish sit on warm for 10 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld. Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice.
