Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth (or bone broth)
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ½ cup sundried tomatoes
- 1 cup ditalini pasta (or orzo)
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Sear the Chicken: Season the diced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a large pan over medium-high heat, sear the chicken on all sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes). Set aside.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In the bottom of your slow cooker, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch to create a slurry. Then mix in the heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika.
-
Slow Cook: Place the seared chicken into the slow cooker, followed by the sundried tomatoes on top. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4-6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked through.
-
Add Pasta: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the ditalini pasta (or orzo) and let it cook until tender.
-
Finish with Parmesan: Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese just before serving, allowing it to melt into the creamy sauce.
-
Serve & Enjoy: Once the pasta is cooked and the cheese is melted, serve your creamy Marry Me Chicken and enjoy the rich flavors with minimal effort!
