Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. butter
½ tsp. garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
½ tsp. paprika
3 tbsp. chopped sun dried tomatoes
½ cup freshly grated parmesan
fresh basil for garnish
Optional to thicken sauce 1 tbsp. cornstarch and 2 tablespoon water

Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Lightly sear the chicken breasts.
Transfer the chicken, along with the oil and butter from the skillet, to your crockpot.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, garlic, and the remaining seasonings.
Pour this mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
Add the sun dried tomatoes.
Cook on low for 4 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken and place it on a plate.
Whisk the sauce in the crockpot and add freshly grated parmesan cheese. If you want to thicken the sauce, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoon water to make a cornstarch slurry to add to the crockpot.
If using cornstarch, cover the chicken and turn the crockpot to high for 10 more minutes.
Return the chicken to the crockpot and top with fresh basil.
Serve, over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Searing the chicken locks in the flavor and gives the chicken a lovely golden color.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste. If you like a bit of spice, go ahead and throw in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
If you want a thicker sauce, mix in the cornstarch slurry and cook on high for another 10 minutes.
