Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (tenderloins also work well here)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch. Pour the broth and the cream over the chicken. Sprinkle with the garlic and the seasonings. Top with the butter and sun dried tomatoes.
  • Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours. Stir in the Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve chicken whole or shred if desired. Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh basil. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Storage: To store leftovers, let the dish cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: This dish freezes well! To freeze, let it cool, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  • Pairing: Serve this meal with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced dinner.
  • Ingredient Variations: Try adding other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the slow cooker for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Adjusting Spice Levels: If you prefer a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick!
  • Garnishing Options: Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can be used instead of basil for a different flavor profile.
