Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts The main protein source providing richness; can substitute with frozen chicken, but increase cooking time.
For the Vegetables
  • 4 cups Mixed Vegetables (carrots, broccoli, bell peppers) Adds nutrition and color; use any favorite veggies, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Adds depth of flavor to the sauce; homemade broth elevates the dish significantly.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Creates the creamy texture; substitute with half-and-half or coconut milk for a lighter version, though flavor may vary.
  • 4 cloves Minced Garlic Essential for aroma; sauté briefly before adding to enhance the flavor profile.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Provides balanced herbal notes; fresh herbs can be added at the end for a pop of brightness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavors; adjust to your personal taste preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Enhances overall flavors; adjust to your personal taste preference.
For Garnish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by seasoning your boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Place the seasoned chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker, setting the stage for a beautifully tender meal.
  2. Next, layer your mixed vegetables over the seasoned chicken. Use colorful carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers, making sure they are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, chicken broth, and heavy cream until well combined. Pour this creamy mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in your slow cooker.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Once cooking is complete, stir the creamy mixture gently to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
