Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil or rehydrated if dry)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for sautéing garlic or tomatoes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, providing a flavorful base before cooking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the crockpot, layer the seasoned chicken breasts, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes if using, creating the flavorful foundation.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. Finish the Sauce: About 30 minutes before serving, add the heavy cream and sprinkle grated parmesan over the chicken. Stir gently, cover again, and let the sauce thicken.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the sauce is creamy and bubbling, give everything a final stir and serve over your favorite base such as pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the crockpot to ensure even cooking.
  • Add heavy cream towards the end to prevent curdling.
  • Reserve some parmesan cheese to sprinkle just before serving.
  • If sauce thickens too much, add broth or cream to adjust consistency.
