Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 0.33 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to slow cooker.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add to slow cooker.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and basil. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Pour the cream mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Ensure chicken is mostly covered by the liquid.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through.
  2. Check seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. For best flavor, brown the chicken well before adding it to the slow cooker.
