Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Choose high-quality chicken; organic or free-range options are best.
  • 1 cup Heavy cream Use full-fat for the richest sauce; substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes Look for the ones packed in oil for added flavor.
  • 1 cup Chicken broth Homemade preferred, but store-bought works too.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated will give a better texture; substitute with nutritional yeast for dairy-free.
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh is best; garlic powder can be used if necessary.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning A blend gives a hint of herbs without the hassle.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes Optional for added zest; adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Extra virgin recommended for enhanced flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Optional for thickening the sauce.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. Transfer the seared chicken into the crockpot. Sprinkle sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes over the chicken.
  3. Cook on low for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
  4. In the final 30 minutes, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Add cornstarch mixed with water if a thicker sauce is desired.
  5. Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Make-ahead by prepping the night before.
