Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
Whisk the chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Pour the cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top of the liquid mixture.
Cover the slow cooker and cook for 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
Stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese once the cooking time concludes.
Shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks or serve whole.
Notes
Ensure the parmesan cheese is freshly grated for the best melting consistency. You can serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
