Chicken cooked in a creamy herb and sundried tomato sauce! Great over spaghetti or rice.

Ingredients

  • 5 boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 3 Tbsp. all purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. dried minced Onion ((or ¼ teaspoon onion powder))
  • ⅓ cup sun dried tomatoes (drained)
  • 4 Tbsp. salted butter
  • fresh basil for garnish
  • grated or shredded parmesan for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    In a frying pan or cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Brown the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on both sides. (The goal here is to brown the outside of the chicken breast, not to cook it through) Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock and flour. In the slow cooker pot, add the chicken stock and flour mixture, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika, minced onion and mix.

  3. 3

    Place the browned chicken breasts into the slow cooker pot and top with the sun dried tomatoes and butter. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours.

  4. 4

    Serve over pasta, rice or mashed potatoes and garnish with the fresh basil. Enjoy!
