Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  
  

• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  
  

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1 cup heavy cream
  
  

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
  

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
  

• Salt and pepper to taste
  
  

• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  
  

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
   
   

2. In the same skillet, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning, then cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to release the flavors.
   
   

3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
   
   

4. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
   
   

5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set it aside. Stir the sauce well to combine, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
   
   

6. Serve the chicken with the sauce poured over the top, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Pair it with rice, pasta, or vegetables for a complete meal.
