Ingredients
- 14 oz can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
- 1 cup pasta sauce
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup basil freeze dried or fresh, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Add tomato sauce, cream cheese, diced tomatoes, garlic, salt, basil, pepper to slow cooker and stir well to mix. There will be lumps of cream cheese which is ok, we want it mixed but not to smooth.
- Add chicken breasts to slow cooker, and press into sauce until submerged.
- Add lid, set slow cooker to high.
- Cook on high for 4 hours, until sauce has thickened and chicken has reached 175 internal temperature.
- Serve with pasta, rice, vegetables, or potatoes and enjoy!

Notes
- Stir the sauce, but don’t worry about lumps of cream cheese - they will melt.
- Add more cheese with up to a cup of grated parmesan cheese.
- Use any pasta sauce you love - three cheese, tomato basil, and spicy arrabiata are all favorites of ours for this recipe.
