  • 2 tbsp olive oil For searing the chicken
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour For thickening the sauce

  • 1 tbsp finely minced garlic
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (well drained)
  • 2 tbsp salted butter To dot on top of the chicken
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water if desired and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken breasts for a few minutes on each side until lightly golden.
  • Transfer the chicken to the crockpot.

Sauce Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, flour, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces are covered.
  • Add the well-drained sun-dried tomatoes on top.

Cooking

  • Dot the top of the mixture with pieces of salted butter.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.

Final Steps

  • Once finished, gently stir the sauce to coat the chicken.
  • Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, stir in more flour mixed with water before serving. Let the dish sit for a few minutes before serving to meld flavors.
