Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional) Use for serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
  2. In your slow cooker, lay down the chicken breasts, followed by the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and chicken broth until well combined. Pour this mixture over the chicken and tomatoes in the crock pot.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  2. About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the grated parmesan cheese and mix well. Allow it to melt and thicken the sauce.
  3. Plate your chicken, ensuring each serving gets a generous drizzle of that creamy sauce. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking. You can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version, but expect a slightly different texture. Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms before serving for extra flavor and nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to three months.
