- Instructions
- Mix together dry seasonings and toss together with the chicken.
- Set the pressure cooker to “saute” until hot. In small batches, brown the chicken in olive oil. Set aside and keep warm.
- When all of the chicken is browned, deglaze the bottom of the pressure cooker by adding the chicken broth and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.
- Return the chicken to the electric pressure cooker and stir in the garlic.

- Prepare the slow cooker crock with non-stick cooking spray. Add the chicken.
- Reduce the chicken broth to ½ cup. Pour over chicken and dot with butter and cream cheese. Cover with parmesan.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. Stir in heavy whipping cream prior to serving.
