Ingredients
  

Chicken and Seasoning
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt To taste
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper Freshly ground
Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 cup Chicken broth Low sodium preferred
  • 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes Packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated melts best
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry thoroughly and rub them evenly with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and Worcestershire sauce.
  4. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Shred or slice the chicken if desired, then return it to the pot.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

This sauce thickens as it cooks. If you prefer a very thick sauce when serving, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking, or after removing the chicken.
