Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 large breasts)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil (drained and chopped)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the seasoning all over the chicken.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Top with the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
  4. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  2. Shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks or remove it, shred it, and return it to the pot.
Final Steps
  1. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and the cheese has melted completely.
  2. Turn off the slow cooker and stir in the fresh basil. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  3. Serve hot.

Notes

You can prep the chicken and seasonings the night before, and store everything in the slow cooker insert in the refrigerator for easy mealtime. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for up to three months.
