Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened (room temperature) Cut into cubes if using block cream cheese.
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed or rehydrated dry-packed) Soak dry-packed tomatoes briefly if needed.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts directly in the slow cooker, spaced in a single layer.

  3. Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover the slow cooker.
Cooking
  1. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F and is tender.
  2. About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the chicken. Replace the lid and let the cheese melt.
  3. Once melted, gently stir in the chopped fresh basil. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
