Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken
Creamy tender chicken in prosciutto, mushroom, and sundried tomato cream sauce
One of our favorite dishes to get at Carrabba’s is their Chicken Rosa Maria. I made this copycat recipe here so I can eat it at home whenever I want. However, I decided to take it a step further. I created a recipe with all of the flavors of that popular dish but made it even easier by cooking it in a slow cooker. Saving time here, people!
The Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken was born. Man alive, it is GOOD.
This easy crockpot dinner recipe is made with chicken breast, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and prosciutto in a creamy sundried tomato sauce. It is perfect served on a bed of mashed potatoes, vegetables, or pasta.
What is prosciutto? It is an Italian ham, which has been aged and dry-cured. It is one of one of my favorite ingredients to use because it adds a salty savory element to dishes and is beyond flavorful.
The secret ingredient for making a rich creamy sauce is cream cheese. We are changing up the typical heavy cream since cream cheese adds the perfect thickness. It is added in the last 45 minutes of cooking time to slowly melt and make a velvety sauce.
I make this ahead of time and keep it in my refrigerator for leftovers. It reheats beautifully and is such a warm, comforting dish.

Pin ItAdd bite-size chicken breast to the slow cooker. Add garlic, pepper, chicken broth, and sundried tomatoes. Set on the low or high setting. Cook for 3 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low.
While cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt. Add onions and let soften for 5-7 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to cook until softened, another 5-7 minutes. Add prosciutto and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside.
With 45 minutes left of cooking time, add mushroom prosciutto mixture and cream cheese. Let it melt.
After the cream cheese has melted, check for seasonings. Add salt and more pepper if needed. Sprinkle parmesan cheese all over the chicken, while it is still hot. Serve with fresh basil. May serve with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or pasta.
- Check for seasonings and add salt as needed. Chicken broths can vary in the amount of salt so that is why there is no set salt amount listed in the directions.
