  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, sauté until softened and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them evenly at the bottom of the crock pot.
  3. Layer the Mushrooms: Transfer the sautéed mushroom mixture over the seasoned chicken, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Add Liquids: Pour low-sodium chicken broth and Marsala wine into the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  6. Finish the Sauce: About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream (or half-and-half) into the crock pot.
