Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 ounces Fat-free cream cheese, softened
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the base of your crock pot.
Step 2
Add the low-sodium chicken broth, minced garlic, chopped onion, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chicken.
Step 3
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours (or high heat for 2.5 hours), until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 4
Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
Step 5
Add the softened fat-free cream cheese to the liquid in the crock pot and whisk until smooth and creamy. It may take a few minutes for the cream cheese to fully blend.
Step 6
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix it thoroughly with the creamy sauce.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot again and cook on low for an additional 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables, brown rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
