This mouthwatering meal has gone down an absolute storm (with more than 325 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews!).
I just had to make a Slow Cooker Marry Me Chicken version of this family favourite for those days when time is a struggle and we can benefit from prepping earlier in the day.
Sarah’s Notes
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
- Chicken – We’re using 650g/1.4lb 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.
How to make Slow Cooker MArry Me Chicken
1. Toss the chicken in the plain flour with plenty of salt and pepper until it’s well coated. Put in to the slow cooker.
2. Add the garlic, sun dried tomatoes, oregano, paprika, stock cube and boiling water. Cook as per the recipe below.
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
Can I make this dairy Free?
Yes, sure. Just swap the cream cheese and parmesan for dairy-free alternatives and you’re good to go.

Notes
Sun Dried Tomatoes – Use the type in jars in oil. Drain the oil and pat dry. Be sure to cut these up very very finely. If they are left too large they can be a little chewy when slow cooked. Cut up very small, they just add lots of flavour and almost melt into the sauce.
Plain Flour – Plain flour is the same as all-purpose flour. A 1/4 cup is the equivalent of 1 ounce.
