Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 6 thighs)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tbsp fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Extra grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. (Optional but adds flavor.)
  • Place the seared chicken in the crock pot. Add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and chicken broth.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano.
  • If a thicker sauce is desired, mix cornstarch with water and stir it in. Cook uncovered for another 15–20 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and extra Parmesan. Serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
