Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
This dish can be served over cauliflower rice or with a side of keto-friendly vegetables for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
