Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts Fresh, high-quality chicken recommended.
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half or almond milk for a lighter version.
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese Using a good-brand parmesan can elevate flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnishing
Optional Ingredients
  • Cooked pasta or rice for a heartier meal

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the chicken for an aromatic base.
  3. Gently pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is submerged.
  4. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything together.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for about 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. You want the chicken to be cooked through and tender.
  2. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return it to the pot.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the soup. Let it cook for an additional 30 minutes on low to thicken.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot, alongside cooked pasta or rice if desired.

Notes

This soup tastes even better the next day, so don't hesitate to double the recipe for leftovers. For thicker soup, allow it to cook longer and add extra cheese to your preference.
