Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 0.5 cup Sundried Tomatoes (jarred in oil)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme or Oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adjust between 0.5 to 1 teaspoon to suit heat preference.
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 8 leaves Fresh Basil (cut into ribbons) For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Optional: Sear chicken in a pan for extra flavor. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, sundried tomatoes, minced garlic, thyme or oregano, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch.
  3. Pour the mixture over the chicken in a slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours until the chicken is tender.
  5. If desired, blend the sauce for a smooth consistency, then return the chicken to the sauce and mix well.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the microwave or on the stove until heated through. If the sauce thickens in the fridge, add a splash of chicken broth or cream while reheating to loosen it up.
