Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Sear the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer to slow cooker: Place the seared chicken in the slow cooker. Top with sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, chicken broth, and seasoning.
- Cook on low: Cover and cook on low for 180-240 minutes. The chicken is ready when it easily shreds with a fork.
- Add cream and cheese: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. If the sauce needs quick thickening, mix in a cornstarch slurry.
- Serve with style: Serve the chicken with its creamy sauce over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Finish with fresh basil.
Notes
Allow your heavy cream to reach room temperature before adding to prevent curdling. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
