Ingredients
-
4–6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 packet Italian seasoning mix
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
½ cup chicken broth
-
¾ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
-
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place them in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
Pour the cream mixture over the chicken.
Sprinkle chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches 165°F (74°C) inside.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Let it melt into the sauce until thick and creamy.
Top with fresh basil and serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
Notes
• Sear the chicken first for extra flavor (optional)
• Don’t overcook — chicken breasts can dry out if cooked too long
• Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce
• Add spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies
• Sauce thickening tip: remove lid for the last 15 minutes to reduce
• Stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days
