Equipment
- Slow cooker (or multi-cooker)
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian dressing mix or Italian seasoning blend, divided
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- If chicken breasts are large, cut into 4-6 equal-sized pieces and sprinkle evenly on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning
- Melt butter in skillet or multicooker over medium-high heat
- Cook chicken on each side until lightly browned
- Transfer to slow cooker and add minced garlic, the rest of the seasoning blend, red pepper, chicken stock, and sun-dried tomatoes
- Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6
- Mix tapioca flour with just enough water to make a slurry and add to slow cooker
- Stir in cream and parmesan cheese and let continue to heat through for 30 minutes
Notes
- The sun-dried tomatoes add so much richness and depth to this recipe, but if preferred, you can leave them out. Try adding another savory ingredient such as roasted red peppers or a sprinkle of capers.
- To thicken the sauce, add additional slurry (either tapioca flour or cornstarch and water) in small increments. You can also substitute flour in the slurry and use a gluten-free variety as needed!
- When removing chicken from the slow cooker, allow it to rest for a few moments before slicing.
