Equipment
- slow cooker
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup Chicken Broth
- 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 cup Fresh Basil, chopped
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, italian seasoning, and paprika.
- Place the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, chicken broth, and sun-dried tomatoes around and over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F and is very tender.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set it aside on a plate. Add the heavy cream and softened cream cheese to the liquid in the pot.
- Whisk the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well combined with the cooking liquid. Stir in the parmesan cheese until it melts into a rich, creamy sauce.
- Return the chicken breasts to the slow cooker and spoon the sauce generously over them. Let everything sit for 5 minutes so the flavors come together.
- Serve the chicken topped with plenty of sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil. This pairs beautifully with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
