½ cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

---

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken:

Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. (Optional) Sear the chicken:

For extra flavor, quickly sear the chicken in a hot skillet with olive oil—about 2 minutes per side—before adding to the crockpot.

3. Add to crockpot:

Place the chicken in the crockpot. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.

4. Cook:

Low: 4–5 hours

High: 2½–3 hours

Chicken should be tender and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F).

5. Thicken the sauce (if needed):

If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes or stir in a slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water).

6. Serve:

Spoon over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and a little extra Parmesan if desired.
