Equipment
- slow cooker
- skillet
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts or thighs
- Salt and Pepper generously sprinkle on chicken
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- ½ cup Sundried Tomatoes (jarred in oil)

- 1 teaspoon Thyme or Oregano
- ½ to 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 8 leaves fresh Basil cut into ribbons
Instructions
- OPTIONAL: Sear the chicken breasts in a pan before adding them to the slow cooker for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, thyme or oregano, and cornstarch. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
- Cover and cook the chicken on the low setting for 5-6 hours until fully cooked and tender.

Notes
If you have leftovers, store the chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. Searing chicken adds extra flavor and texture, but can be skipped if short on time.
