Marry me Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by rubbing boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a mix of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper for a well-seasoned base. The chicken is seared in olive oil and butter until golden brown. A creamy sauce made from chicken broth and cornstarch slurry, heavy cream, garlic, Italian seasonings, and spices is combined and poured into a slow cooker.
The seared chicken is added to the slow cooker with chopped sundried tomatoes and corn, cooked low and slow for several hours to allow flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender. Parmesan cheese is stirred into the sauce at the end for richness, and fresh basil adds a final herbaceous note.
This dish offers a combination of creamy, savory, and slightly spicy flavors highlighted by the textured sweetness of corn and the tang of sundried tomatoes. The slow cooking approach tenderizes the chicken and melds the sauce components well. It can be served with rice or pasta to complement the sauce.
