Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5–2 lbs
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped Reserve a little oil if you like extra tomato flavor
  • 1 cup heavy cream Use half-and-half thinned with a tablespoon of butter if needed
  • 1 cup chicken broth Low-sodium recommended
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated tastes best
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Or 1 tsp jarred
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts in an even layer at the bottom of the crock pot. Pat them dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. Fold in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
Cooking
  1. Pour the creamy tomato mixture evenly over the chicken, spooning some of the sauce over each breast.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is tender.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning. Spoon sauce over the chicken, garnish with torn basil leaves, and serve warm.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Sauce may thicken when refrigerated; thin with a little broth when reheating. The dish is versatile—serve over pasta, rice, or vegetables to suit your meal plan.
