Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot, making sure they are evenly spread out.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, and grated Parmesan cheese until the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Pour the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is fully covered by the sauce.
  4. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste over the sauce and chicken to enhance flavor.
  5. Slow cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook the chicken on low heat for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is tender, fully cooked, and easily shredded with a fork.
  6. Remove chicken: Carefully take the chicken breasts out of the crockpot and place them on a serving plate, keeping them warm.
  7. Mix the sauce: Stir the sauce in the crockpot thoroughly to combine any separated ingredients and thicken slightly.
  8. Coat the chicken: Return the chicken breasts to the crockpot and gently toss to coat them evenly with the sauce.
  9. Serve: Serve the chicken hot, garnished generously with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh and vibrant finish.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, but the sauce may be less rich.
  • Serve this dish with pasta, rice, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer spicier, increase the red pepper flakes gradually to taste.
  • Make sure chicken breasts are not frozen before cooking for even cooking results.
