Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 16 oz cremini mushrooms thickly sliced
  • 1 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Whisk
  • Small mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Layer Ingredients: Place seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of a greased slow cooker. Top with sliced mushrooms and minced garlic.
  2. Add Liquids: Pour the dry Marsala wine and chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours until the chicken is tender and reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Thicken Sauce: Remove chicken to a plate. Whisk heavy cream and cornstarch together, then stir into the slow cooker liquid. Cook uncovered on HIGH for 20 minutes until thickened, then return chicken to the sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure you buy dry Marsala wine, not sweet, to prevent the dinner sauce from tasting like a dessert.
