Add raw chicken to crockpot
Place raw chicken breasts directly into the crockpot, laying them flat if possible.
Season the chicken: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning evenly over the chicken.
Add bone broth.
Add minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth directly on top of the chicken.
Cook the chicken: Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is very tender and easily shreds with a fork. [Do not cook on HIGH].
Remove and shred chicken: Transfer chicken to a plate or cutting board and shred using two forks. Set aside.
Change crockpot setting: Switch the crockpot from LOW to WARM before adding any dairy.
Prepare the cottage cheese sauce: While the crockpot is on WARM, blend the cottage cheese completely smooth in a blender or food processor.
Add sauce to crockpot (without chicken): Pour the blended cottage cheese directly into the crockpot liquid. Stir slowly until smooth.
Add grated parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens slightly and is fully combined.
Return chicken to sauce: Add shredded chicken back into the crockpot and gently stir until all chicken is evenly coated.
Rest and thicken: Leave on WARM for 10–15 minutes, lid slightly cracked if needed, to allow sauce to thicken.
Serve or portion: Turn off heat and portion immediately for meal prep.
Recommend pairing with brown rice or gluten free pasta, white rice, or roasted potatoes [macros not included].
