Ingredients

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 packet Italian seasoning mix
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
3/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped, for garnish

Equipment

Crockpot or slow cooker (4-6 quart)
mixing bowl
whisk
meat thermometer
Measuring cups and spoons

Method

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. Arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of your crockpot for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes until well combined and smooth.
Pour the cream mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, then sprinkle chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the top for maximum flavor distribution.
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when checked with a meat thermometer.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in grated parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce with the lid on, creating a rich and creamy coating.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes to soak up all that incredible sauce.
