Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and lightly sear the chicken for extra flavor.
  3. Place chicken into the slow cooker.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic around the chicken.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and add butter.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours until the chicken is tender.
  7. Add heavy cream and parmesan cheese during the final 20–30 minutes of cooking.
  8. Stir gently until the sauce becomes creamy and the cheese melts.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with keto-friendly vegetables.

Notes

Add parmesan cheese and cream near the end of cooking to prevent the sauce from separating. Freshly grated parmesan melts best and creates a smoother creamy sauce.
