Start by placing your choice of boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs at the bottom of your crockpot. Ensure they are evenly spaced to cook uniformly.
Sprinkle the ground black pepper, garlic powder, and salt over the chicken. This will infuse the meat with flavor as it cooks.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, softened cream cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until well blended and creamy.
Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, making sure every piece is covered. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful during cooking.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The longer cooking time will yield more tender chicken, so if you can, opt for low and slow.
Once the cooking time is up, shred the chicken using two forks right in the crockpot. Stir the shredded chicken into the creamy sauce to ensure it's well coated.
Spoon the creamy chicken over cooked rice or pasta and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy the burst of flavors!
