Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning on all sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side.
  3. Lower heat and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Transfer the creamy sauce mixture over the seared chicken in the crockpot, ensuring it is well-coated.
  7. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4–5 hours until chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. During the last hour, stir the sauce occasionally to maintain consistency.
  9. Whisk the sauce in the crockpot until smooth before serving.
  10. Serve the chicken warm, drizzled with the creamy sauce and optionally garnished with fresh parsley.
