Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 medium onion, diced

Instructions
- In the crock pot, add the chicken breasts, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, diced onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Once the chicken is done, use tongs to remove it from the crock pot. Shred the chicken with two forks and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Pour the cream mixture into the crock pot and stir to combine. Add the shredded chicken back to the soup and mix well.
- Cover and cook on low for an additional 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.

- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes, such as croutons, shredded mozzarella, or fresh basil.
Notes
[‘Use fresh Parmesan for a smoother texture.’, ‘Whisk the cream and Parmesan together before adding to prevent curdling.’, “Shred the chicken while it’s still warm for the best texture.”, ‘If the soup is thinner than desired, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.’, ‘Add cooked pasta or spinach for extra heartiness.’]
