Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Arrange in the crock pot.
- In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Cover and cook on Low for 4–5 hours or High for 2–3 hours until the chicken is tender.
- Stir in fresh basil and let the sauce thicken slightly with the lid off for 10–15 minutes.
