Ingredients
- – 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (680g)
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) garlic powder
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) onion powder
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) black pepper
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
- – 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (360ml)
- – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cornstarch
- – 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- – 4 cloves garlic, minced
- – 1 1/2 teaspoons (8 ml) Italian seasoning
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) black pepper
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) red pepper flakes
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) paprika
- – 5/6 cup (200 ml) chopped sun-dried tomatoes, drained
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) grated cheddar cheese
- – 6-8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Use this mixture to season both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Warm a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil and vegetable oil, letting the oil heat up.
- Briefly cook the chicken breasts on each side until they are browned, then remove the pan from the heat and set the chicken aside. Remember, the chicken is not fully cooked at this stage, just browned on the outside. Leave the remaining oil in the pan for later use.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the chicken broth and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and without lumps.
- Pour this broth mixture into the bottom of a slow cooker.
- Stir in the heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and paprika until well combined.
- Place the browned chicken breasts into the slow cooker, and drizzle the reserved oil from the pan over them.
- Sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes over each chicken piece. Set the slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours. Avoid opening the lid frequently as it will extend the cooking time and affect tenderness. Let it cook undisturbed.
- Once done, remove the chicken breasts and mix in the grated cheddar cheese with the sauce. Return the chicken to the slow cooker, cover with the sauce, and garnish with the chopped basil before serving.
