Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer if possible.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes slightly, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the oil. Chop the tomatoes if they are in large pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Scatter the sun-dried tomatoes (with the reserved oil) over the chicken.
Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken, cover, and let it melt into the sauce.
Carefully remove the chicken from the Crock Pot and spoon the sauce and sun-dried tomatoes over the top.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
