 Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), drained and chopped

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Sear the Chicken (Optional): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Transfer to the slow cooker.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes.

3. Combine and Cook: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

4. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid and let it cook uncovered on high for 20–30 minutes, or stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) to thicken.

5. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
