How to Make Dump & Go Crockpot Marry Me Chicken

Making this dish is as easy as it gets, which is exactly why I love it. You won’t need a sink full of dirty dishes or an extra hour of prep work—just a few simple steps and you’ll have a restaurant-worthy meal on the table.

1. Prep the Chicken

Lightly season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. No fancy tricks—just a quick sprinkle. If you want a little extra flavor, you can also season with a pinch of garlic powder or paprika.

2. Whisk the Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, garlic, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. This step only takes a minute, but it’s where the magic begins—the mixture already smells amazing before it even hits the crockpot.

3. Layer in the Crockpot

Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Pour that dreamy sauce over the top so each piece is coated. Don’t worry if it looks thin—the sauce will thicken beautifully as it cooks.

4. Add the Tomatoes

Scatter the chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top. They’ll soften as they cook and add a tangy burst of flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce.

5. Cook to Perfection

Set your crockpot on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. During this time, the chicken becomes fork-tender, and the flavors all meld together into something heavenly. Your kitchen will start to smell incredible about halfway through—just enough to make everyone wander in asking, “Is dinner ready yet?”

6. Finish with Butter

Add the butter during the last 30 minutes of cooking. As it melts, stir it gently into the sauce. This final touch makes everything silky and rich—like something you’d get at your favorite restaurant.

7. Garnish & Serve

Once cooked, spoon the chicken onto plates and drizzle that luscious sauce over the top. Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Pair it with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a loaf of crusty bread—because trust me, you’ll want to soak up every last drop!

Cooking Tips for the Best Marry Me Chicken

For extra flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil.
Make it lighter? Swap heavy cream for half-and-half (just know the sauce will be a bit thinner).
Love spice? Double the red pepper flakes for some extra sass.

True story: This recipe saved me on a week when my to-do list felt a mile long. I threw it all in the crockpot, and by dinner, my house smelled so good that even my husband asked, “What’s for dinner?!” with a hopeful grin.
