Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cups chicken broth
- 1 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown (do not cook fully). This step adds flavor to the dish.
Step 3
Transfer the chicken breasts to the crock pot.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, and softened cream cheese until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the crock pot.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 6
When the cooking time is almost complete, prepare the cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the crock pot and keep warm. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the crock pot and cook on high for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Step 8
Stir in the chopped chives and return the chicken to the crock pot, spooning the sauce over the top.
Step 9
Serve the chicken with the creamy chive sauce over cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables. Garnish with additional chopped chives if desired.
