Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp paprika
Optional: chopped basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and lightly sear chicken on both sides for color.
Place chicken in the crockpot.
Add chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or until chicken is tender and cooked through.
Spoon creamy sauce over the chicken before serving and garnish if desired.
Serve warm over pasta, rice, or with roasted vegetables.

Notes

Use heavy cream for a rich sauce; half-and-half can be substituted for a lighter version.
For faster timing, sear chicken and simmer on stovetop with sauce until thickened.
Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add extra flavor; drain if desired.
Leftovers store refrigerated 2–3 days; reheat gently.
