- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Seasoning:

Instructions
- Thoroughly coat chicken breasts with a blend of aromatic spices, ensuring each piece is evenly seasoned.
- Arrange seasoned chicken in the slow cooker, creating a single layer for uniform cooking.
- Craft a luxurious sauce by combining creamy dairy, savory broth, pungent cheese, zesty garlic, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and fragrant herbs in a mixing bowl.
- Gently cascade the prepared sauce over the chicken, enveloping each piece in a rich, flavorful coating.
- Secure the lid and allow the slow cooker to work its magic, simmering on low heat for approximately 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until chicken reaches optimal tenderness and is fully cooked through.
- After cooking, delicately sprinkle freshly chopped herbs across the surface for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Plate alongside your preferred starch accompaniment, transforming this dish into a complete, satisfying meal.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting paprika and garlic powder to match personal heat preferences.
- Swap heavy cream with coconut milk or Greek yogurt for lighter, dairy-free alternatives that maintain creamy texture.
- Pat chicken breasts dry before seasoning to ensure better spice adherence and more flavorful crust during slow cooking.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium chicken broth and monitoring salt quantity during seasoning process.
