For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch arrowroot starch is a gluten-free substitute
  • 4 cloves garlic minced; use powdered if needed
For the Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon paprika swap for smoked paprika for extra depth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder fresh onions can be substituted
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed for richer flavor
  • 1 cup heavy cream use half-and-half for a lighter option

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  2. In the slow cooker, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  3. Add the seared chicken breasts into the broth mixture, ensuring they are submerged. Top with sun-dried tomatoes.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. Remove chicken and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan until creamy. Return chicken to ensure it is coated in sauce.
  6. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh basil and additional Parmesan, if desired. Pairs well over pasta or a side salad.
