Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 4 medium-sized breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker (6-quart)
  • 1 Whisk

Instructions
 

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Scatter the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the top. Pour in the chicken broth.
  3. Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and set it aside. Whisk the softened cream cheese and heavy cream into the liquid remaining in the crockpot until smooth. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts.
  5. Return the chicken breasts to the crockpot, spooning the sauce over them. Let it heat through for another 15-20 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream to ensure the sauce is rich and doesn't curdle.
Don't add the dairy ingredients until the last 30 minutes of cooking to maintain a smooth, velvety texture.
