Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced

Base Ingredients

  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream or 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh spinach or basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the onions, mince the garlic, and cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Measure out the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and cheeses so everything is ready for assembly.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Crock Pot: Add the chicken pieces, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, chicken broth, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the crock pot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  4. Add Cream and Parmesan: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream or cream cheese and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the cheese to melt and the soup to become creamy and smooth.
  5. Final Touches: Optionally, stir in fresh spinach or basil right before serving to add a burst of freshness and vibrant color. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and richer flavor.
  • Avoid overcooking the chicken to prevent it from becoming dry or stringy.
  • For deeper flavor, sauté onions and garlic briefly before adding to the crock pot.
  • If the soup is too thin, thicken it by stirring in a slurry made from cornstarch and water.
  • Replace heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter creamy texture.
