Cooking

  • Add the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika into the crockpot, stirring to combine.
  • Gently fold in the well-drained sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Cut salted butter into small pieces and distribute them on top of the chicken mixture.
  • Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Once done, check chicken tenderness; shred if desire and serve with the creamy sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
