Below is the easy low carb slow cooker creamy chicken marsala, for the one pan stovetop version, see the recipe card.
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add butter/oil and brown the chicken breasts on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- On the same pan, add little more oil and saute the mushrooms for a few minutes (the above two steps are totally optional, but recommended to give it more creamy flavor)
- Grease the butter/olive oil to the base of the slow cooker. Add the browned chicken (or raw) to the bottom of the pot.
- Add mushrooms, seasonings and pour the marsala wine over the top.
- Secure the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or until chicken is cooked and the internal temperature reads 155 degrees. (check the reading from a meat thermometer)
- Once done, remove the chicken and mushrooms from the slow cooker. Stir in xanthan gum and cream (optional).
- Add the chicken and mushrooms back to the pot and cook for another 20-30 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked (reaches 165 degrees) and the sauce thickened.
- Serve!
