Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup marinara sauce
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Equipment Needed
– Slow cooker
– Mixing bowl
– Spoon (for mixing)
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Knife and cutting board
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I like to trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts before placing them in my slow cooker. Once they’re clean and ready, I sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper over the chicken to season it lightly. Then, I combine the marinara sauce, cream cheese, and Italian seasoning in a mixing bowl. The cream cheese adds a rich texture that blends well with the marinara. I pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker and give it a gentle stir to coat everything evenly.
