My crock pot must be on the hot side. 3 (couldn’t fit 4) completely frozen solid 1 lb. breasts were at 165 in 2 hours
Easy & delicious. Served with homemade fettuccine. From 11 years old to 44 years old it was loved!
I’m so glad it was a hit, Shonda!
This was delicious!! I made it today exactly as stated (except I cooked on low for 8 hours) and wow, so tender and tasty and EASY!! . I’ll definitely be making this again and again.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, KayBee!
My Italian family with two picky eaters liked it. This was an easy, make-again dinner.
I’m so happy to hear that, Suzanne!
I love this recipe! All my kids do as well and I have a couple of very picky eaters
I’m so glad to hear that!
Can you use cream cheese instead of heavy cream? Or a milk/cream cheese combo?
I think that could work!
My husband LOVED this! He said it was better than his favorite chicken marsala meal from Olive Garden…lol..I made no deviation to the recipe. I will ad mushrooms next time. So glad I came across your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
That’s wonderful to hear, Alicia! Thanks so much for sharing!
This was delicious! I’m always searching for easy and tasty crockpot recipes. So happy to have found one!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Becca!
Flavorless and over cooked. I hate to be rude but yuck.
I’m sorry this recipe wasn’t quite to your tastes, Ash!
Probably user Error. Didn’t have to be rude about it. Most people taste the food and sauce while cooking to see if it is to their liking 🙄
Love love love!
Sautéed 1/2lb cremini mushrooms in a little butter, white wine and more S & P, then threw sauce from crock pot into pan with mushrooms, whisked with a sprinkle of flour to thicken a bit as I used half and half. Added chicken back in with spinach for a few mins. Served over fetichini. Next time, mashed potatoes or rice as there WILL be a next time. Also used more chicken and stock so we were SURE to have leftovers :)
Was delish!!
Thanks so much for sharing, Donna! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
