Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4-5 pieces)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (Halal-certified)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed (Halal-certified)
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (Halal-certified)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (Halal-certified)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker, arranging them in a relatively even layer.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup until smooth.
  3. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the cubed cream cheese and stir gently. It’s okay if the cream cheese does not fully incorporate as it will melt during cooking.
  4. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts, cover with the lid, and cook on low for 4-6 hours (or on high for 2-3 hours) until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
  5. About 20 minutes before serving, remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and sauce.
  6. Replace the lid and continue cooking until the cheeses have melted into a gooey perfection.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve, making sure to spoon plenty of the creamy sauce over each piece of chicken.

Notes

This slow cooker cheesy mozzarella chicken is a fantastic weeknight recipe that requires minimal prep while delivering maximum flavor. The dish relies on a blend of three cheeses that create an irresistibly creamy sauce. It’s highly versatile: serve it over pasta or rice, or pair it with garlic bread and a fresh salad. Feel free to customize by using chicken thighs or adding your favorite vegetables during the last half hour of cooking.
