  • Stir oil and garlic together in the bowl of a slow cooker.
  • Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken to the bag, seal, and shake to coat chicken with flour mixture. Pour coated chicken into the slow cooker, then add mushrooms.
  • Heat Marsala wine in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until reduced, 2 to 3 minutes; pour into the slow cooker over chicken and mushrooms.
  • Cover and cook on Low until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • If the sauce is too thin, mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and pour slowly into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on High until thickened, about 15 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste, garnish with parsley, and serve.
