  • Total Time: 255
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh basil, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts thoroughly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a beautiful golden brown color.
  4. Transfer the seared chicken breasts directly into the slow cooker basin.
  5. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes around the chicken.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and dried Italian seasoning.
  7. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  9. Serve immediately topped with fresh chopped basil and extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Always grate your own Parmesan cheese rather than using the pre-grated variety to ensure a smoother, creamier sauce without waxy additives.
  • Do not skip the searing step as it provides a necessary depth of flavor.
