This Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato Basil Chicken is SO easy and flavorful, you wouldn't believe it only has a few ingredients! The perfect easy dinner recipe!

Ingredients

  • 14 oz can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
  • 3/4 cup tomato pasta sauce
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. 1

    Add tomatoes and pasta sauce to a 3-6 quart slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Whisk together cream and corn starch and add to the slow cooker. Stir in garlic, salt, basil and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add chicken breasts and press down into the sauce.

  4. 4

    Cook on low for 3-5 hours, until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. The exact cook time will depend on your slow cooker -- a fuller slow cooker will take longer to cook, so a larger one will cook faster.

  5. 5

    Stir in fresh basil and serve over pasta, rice, or with a salad and veggies!
