Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
Season both sides with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. (This adds depth of flavor!)

2. Make the Creamy Sauce

In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes (if using), and Italian seasoning.
Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

3. Slow Cook the Chicken

Place the seared chicken breasts in the crock pot.
Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours until the chicken is tender.

4. Garnish & Serve

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
Pour the creamy sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.
Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite sides!

Notes

Searing the chicken before slow cooking enhances the flavor and locks in moisture.
For a thicker sauce, stir in 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water at the end.
For extra juiciness, you can substitute boneless chicken thighs.
Adjust spice levels by increasing or omitting red pepper flakes.
Pairs well with pasta, rice, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables.
