Tender, juicy chicken swimming in a rich, creamy sauce infused with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. This easy crockpot recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
  2. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of your crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the sauce and chicken.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and stir the sauce well. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Place the chicken back into the crockpot and coat it with the sauce. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

Notes

[‘For extra flavor, you can sear the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the crockpot.’, ‘Resist the urge to lift the lid while cooking to avoid losing heat and extending cooking time.’, ‘Use fresh garlic, high-quality Parmesan, and good sun-dried tomatoes for the best flavor.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by omitting or increasing the red pepper flakes.’, ‘Double the recipe for meal prep or leftovers—it reheats beautifully.’]
