Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Trim extra fat for a cleaner sauce
  • 1 cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped Reserve a little oil for extra flavor
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option
  • 1 cup chicken broth For more flavor, use homemade broth if possible
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pour the chopped sundried tomatoes (and a tablespoon of the oil if you like extra richness) into the slow cooker.
  2. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until combined.
  3. Place the chicken breasts into the sauce, turning each once so the sauce coats both sides.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours, or on HIGH for 3–4 hours until the chicken is done.
  5. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. If it's too thin, remove the lid and cook on HIGH for 15–20 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Serve the chicken over cooked pasta or rice and scatter torn fresh basil over the top.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container within 2 hours of cooking. To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.
