Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this creamy, dreamy Crockpot Marry Me Chicken:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra juiciness)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Marry Me Chicken
Here’s how to make this creamy, comforting chicken dish in your crockpot:
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix the Sauce
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken.
3. Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover and set your crockpot to low for 4–6 hours, or high for 2–3 hours. The chicken should be tender and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
4. Shred or Serve Whole
Once cooked, you can serve the chicken breasts whole or shred them directly in the sauce for a more rustic, saucy dish.
5. Plate and Enjoy
Serve the chicken and sauce over your choice of pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh basil if desired.
How to Serve Your Dump & Go Crockpot Marry Me Chicken
This dish is deliciously versatile, so you can pair it with just about anything. I love serving it over creamy mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort meal, but it’s equally amazing with pasta or rice. Add a simple green salad or steamed vegetables on the side for a complete dinner. Want to elevate it further? Serve it with crusty bread to soak up that dreamy sauce!
Storing and Enjoying Leftovers
If you have leftovers (lucky you!), let the dish cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, warm the chicken and sauce gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream if the sauce has thickened too much. It’s just as delicious the next day—if not better!
Top Tips for Customizing Your Crockpot Marry Me Chicken
- Switch up the protein: While chicken is classic, you can try this recipe with pork chops or turkey breasts for a fun twist.
- Add veggies: Toss in mushrooms, spinach, or even broccoli during the last hour of cooking for extra nutrients.
- Make it lighter: For a lower-fat version, swap the heavy cream for half-and-half or a combination of milk and Greek yogurt.
- Spice it up: If you like a little heat, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
Your Questions About Crockpot Marry Me Chicken Answered
Can I use frozen chicken in this recipe?
Yes, but be sure to adjust the cooking time. Frozen chicken will take longer to cook, and you’ll want to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
What’s the best way to thicken the sauce?
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the heavy cream with canned coconut milk and use a dairy-free Parmesan alternative for a creamy, dairy-free version.
What can I serve with this dish?
This chicken pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or even zucchini noodles for a low-carb option. A side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad rounds out the meal perfectly.
