Step-By-Step Instructions
Start by adding the chicken breasts to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the minced onion, garlic powder, rosemary, parsley, and oregano over the top. Next, pour the heavy cream and chicken broth over the chicken.
Place the lid on top and cook for 7-1/2 hours on the low heat setting.
After 7-1/2 hours, sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top and cook for 30 more minutes. The liquid in the Crock Pot is not thick.
TIP: If you want it thicker, dip some of the liquid out of the Crock Pot, add one tablespoon of cornstarch, mix it up, and pour it back in. Let it cook for 30 more minutes, and the liquid will be slightly thicker.
Once the chicken cooks, you can either take it out whole or shred it.
