Description
A luxurious and comforting crockpot chicken dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich mushroom and Marsala wine sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5–2 lbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant—about 30–60 seconds.
- Sear chicken for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly browned, then transfer to the crockpot.
- Whisk soy sauce, chicken broth, and Marsala together in a bowl and pour over the chicken in the crockpot, then add the sliced mushrooms on top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours.
- Stir in heavy cream 10 minutes before serving; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut cream. Always taste before seasoning as soy sauce contributes sodium.
