Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5–2 pounds total) Use thighs for juicier results.
  • 1 cup sun‑dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped Save a little oil for extra flavor. Use rehydrated dry sun‑dried tomatoes if needed, but add a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter option, use half‑and‑half or full‑fat coconut milk for dairy‑free.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Low‑sodium preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh minced garlic (2 cloves) can be used instead.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Substitute with 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion sautéed beforehand.
  • to taste none salt and pepper
  • to taste none fresh basil for garnish Optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the Crock Pot.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped sun‑dried tomatoes, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the cream and tomato mixture evenly over the chicken, covering the breasts as much as possible.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches 165°F (74°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
Serving
  1. When serving, spoon sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with torn fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water during the last 15–30 minutes of cooking. Avoid lifting the lid frequently; each peek can add 15–30 minutes to the cook time.
