  • Total Time: 38 minute
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for browning, optional)

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Step 1: (Optional) Brown the chicken breasts in olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side in a skillet until golden.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk flour into the chicken broth until fully dissolved—no lumps.
Step 3: Pour broth mixture into the bottom of the Crock Pot. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Layer chicken in the slow cooker. Top evenly with sun-dried tomatoes and dot with butter.
Step 5: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–3.5 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F.
Step 6: Once fully cooked, stir in the heavy cream. Cover again and cook 30 minutes on HIGH (or 1 hour on LOW) to thicken the sauce.
Step 7: Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes—or enjoy as is.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs can be used for juicier meat.

  • Browning the chicken adds flavor but isn’t required.

  • A cornstarch slurry can be added at the end if sauce isn’t thick enough.

 

  • Pairs well with angel hair pasta, garlic mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
