Ingredients
  

Chicken & Slow Cooker Base
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or oil from sun-dried tomato jar)
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Parmesan Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or full-fat coconut cream)
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 jar (8.5 oz) sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and julienned
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold broth (optional for thicker sauce)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped for garnish

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Season chicken breasts evenly on both sides with garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden (optional step for enhanced flavor, or place directly into slow cooker).
  3. Arrange the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, drained julienned sun-dried tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours (or on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours) until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is ultra tender.
  6. Stir in cornstarch slurry during the last 20 minutes if a thicker sauce is desired. Spoon velvety sauce generously over chicken, garnish with fresh chopped basil and extra Parmesan, and serve warm over pasta or mashed potatoes.
