Instructions
This Slow Cooker Cheesy Garlic Chicken is the ultimate comfort meal—rich, creamy, and packed with bold garlic flavor. It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want something hearty with minimal effort.
Start by lightly greasing your slow cooker with cooking spray or a little butter. Place the chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crockpot. Season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. This simple seasoning builds a flavorful base.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, and chicken broth (or milk). Stir well until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece is well coated. If you want an extra creamy texture, add a tablespoon of butter on top.
Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. The slow cooking process allows the garlic flavor to infuse deeply into the sauce while keeping the chicken juicy and soft.
About 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover again and let the cheese melt into a gooey, irresistible layer. The combination of cheeses gives both stretch and sharp flavor, making every bite extra satisfying.
Once done, you can serve the chicken breasts whole or shred them directly in the slow cooker and stir into the creamy sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, steamed rice, buttered pasta, or roasted vegetables. You can even spoon it over toasted bread for an open-faced cheesy garlic sandwich.
