A comforting and flavorful meal made with chicken thighs in a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the seared chicken to the crockpot.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let it simmer gently.
  6. Add the cubed cream cheese and whisk until it’s melted and incorporated into a creamy sauce.
  7. Season the sauce with additional Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. If using optional add-ins, toss them in now.
  8. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  9. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fork-tender.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley. Serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider using boneless chicken thighs or low-fat cream cheese.
