A comforting and creamy chicken dish made effortlessly in a slow cooker, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Place the chicken in the slow cooker and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning for consistent flavor.
Melt half of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Use a non-stick pan to prevent the butter from burning.
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in the melted butter until fragrant.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
Add the cream cheese and chicken broth to the saucepan, stirring until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Spread the sauce evenly to cover all the chicken pieces.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Avoid opening the slow cooker lid frequently to maintain a consistent cooking temperature.
Serve the creamy garlic chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dish to complete the meal.
