Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
For the Sauce
- 1 cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped

Instructions
Preparation
- Combine the sundried tomatoes, heavy cream, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in your slow cooker. Stir to blend.
- Add the chicken breasts, pressing them into the sauce so each piece is well coated.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender and reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Before serving, stir the sauce to fully combine any separated cream and tomatoes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Garnish with grated Parmesan and torn fresh basil. Serve the chicken over cauliflower rice or with roasted vegetables and spoon extra sauce on top.
Notes
For a richer gravy-style serving, pair with a slow-cooked base like classic comfort gravy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
