Slow Cooker Creamy Asiago Chicken

A rich and comforting slow cooker chicken dinner made with tender chicken, garlic, cream cheese, heavy cream, and nutty Asiago cheese for a silky sauce that is perfect over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Turn the slow cooker to low for a 4 to 5 hour cook time, or high for a 2 to 3 hour cook time.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together chicken broth, softened cream cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until mostly combined.
  3. Lightly coat the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
  4. Place the chicken in the slow cooker, then pour the creamy broth mixture over the top.
  5. Cover and cook until the chicken is tender and reaches 165°F.
  6. During the last 20 to 30 minutes, stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Asiago cheese.
  7. Stir in the cornstarch slurry if a thicker sauce is desired, then cover for another 10 minutes.
  8. Whisk the sauce gently until smooth, spoon it over the chicken, and finish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Asiago for the smoothest sauce.
  • Add the cream and cheese near the end to help prevent separation.
  • Serve over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
