Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

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: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor.

    Sauté Garlic: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to burn it, as burnt garlic can become bitter. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: In your crockpot, lay down the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer. Pour the sautéed garlic over the chicken. Next, add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese (reserve the other half for later). Gently stir to ensure the chicken is well coated in the creamy mixture.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid. Cook on the low setting for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

          Final Touch: After cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the sauce, creating tender, bite-sized pieces. Stir in the remaining grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce, creating a rich and creamy consistency.

            Serve: To serve, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. This creamy garlic Parmesan chicken pairs deliciously over cooked pasta or rice, if desired.
