Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 2 pounds (8 ounces each)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon olive oil
3 Tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 Tablespoons flour *, optional, to thicken sauce
1 cup chicken broth
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
⅔ cup sun dried tomatoes drained and chopped
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet on medium high, heat olive oil. Once oil is shimmering, brown the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and add to slow cooker.
To the same skillet, add butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Whisk together and saute for 1 minute.
Add flour (if using) and cook for 30 seconds. Add broth, heavy cream, and parmesan and whisk to combine. Once bubbling, cook for 2 minutes.
Pour sauce over the chicken, then top with sun dried tomatoes.
Cover and cook on high for 1½ to 2½ hours*, or until chicken reaches 165℉ on an instant-read thermometer.
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve over pasta or rice. Garnish with chopped basil.

Notes

*8 ounce chicken breasts take about 2 hours. To cook on low, cook for 3 to 4 hours.
