Tuscan Garlic Chicken



It’s going to be a hectic week ahead, and this is your only day off for the next week, and you still have to make dinner for your family. All you want to do is turn on a movie, lounge on the sofa, and put your feet up. Then remember you have a crockpot, so up you go to the kitchen and pull out that trusty crockpot and begin to throw ingredients into the pot to cook all day while you relax.  As the flavors meld together throughout the day, you smell that garlic in the air, and you’re thinking of that long-ago vacation in the Italian countryside where you smiled with a glass of wine in hand, relishing in the peace and quiet of the valley below.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs.)

4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

2 tsp dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

½ cup grated Romano cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.

Sprinkle minced garlic over the chicken.

In a bowl, mix heavy cream, chicken broth, Italian herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, and Romano cheese.

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours until tender.

Serve hot over pasta or rice, drizzled with extra sauce.
