How we came up with this recipe
You may already be familiar with this Tuscan-style creamy dish from my other variations on Marry Me Chicken, but in case you don’t know…
I adapted my own version of this dish a while ago (so good it’ll make your diners want to marry you, as the story goes).
I thought it would lend itself perfectly to my slow cooker collection, and after plenty of testing, I was right!
Unlike my pasta dishes, this one will probably need a side dish to go with it. There are a few ideas below, or keep things simple with some microwave rice just before serving.
Slow Cooker Marry Me Chicken Ingredients Notes
- Chicken – We’re using 650g of skinless and boneless breasts for this recipe, which is about 4 breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
- Sun dried tomatoes – The type in an oil-filled jar, not the dry ones
- Garlic – I use peeled and crushed fresh garlic here, but feel free to use pre-prepared from a jar or frozen
- Chicken stock cube – Just add this to the slow cooker with the water measured, no need to dilute further
- To stir in once cooked – Cream cheese, grated parmesan, fresh basil, sea salt and ground black pepper

Leftovers
In the fridge You can keep this recipe cooked in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat fully in the microwave or on the hob before serving.
In the freezer Creamy sauces don’t freeze overly well and the chicken would be a little dry when you’re reheating it from frozen, however I wouldn’t let it go to waste. If freezing is your best option, you can do so, it may need a little extra liquid (water) to be added as you reheat it.

FAQs
The Morphy Richards Sear & Stew Slow Cooker is my all-time favourite because you can use it for initial browning on the hob and it’s really light.
I wrote up a whole slow cooker review though, where you might find another one to suit your needs. Have a read here.
Yes sure. Just swap the cream cheese and parmesan for dairy-free alternatives and you’re good to go.
