There is a reason this recipe is famous for being so delicious that it might just get you a marriage proposal. It is incredibly simple to toss everything into the slow cooker, and the chicken comes out so tender that it practically falls apart on your fork.

My best tip is to use fresh grated Parmesan cheese if you can find it. It melts into the sauce much smoother than the pre grated kind in the green can, which makes for a much creamier final result.

🧺 Ingredients

1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh basil for serving

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
2
Season the chicken with the oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
3
Add the sun dried tomatoes and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
4
Whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, then pour the mixture over the chicken.
5
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
6
Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks before stirring it back into the sauce.
7
Serve warm over pasta or mashed potatoes with a sprinkle of fresh basil.

💡 Tips

This dish stores beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you serve it over pasta, keep the sauce and noodles separate until you are ready to eat so the pasta does not soak up all the creaminess.
