Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato Basil Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (28‑oz) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup heavy cream

Sauce & Aromatics

• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup dry white wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Seasonings & Herbs

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon red‑pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Instructions

Combine & Transfer to Slow Cooker

1. Mix the sauce. Stir in tomato paste, then add the crushed tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Let the mixture simmer 5 minutes to meld flavors.
2. Layer the chicken. Place the seared chicken breasts into the slow cooker, then pour the tomato mixture over them, ensuring each piece is well‑coated.
3. Slow‑cook. Cover and cook on LOW for 4‑5 hours or HIGH for 2‑3 hours. The chicken will become fork‑tender, and the sauce will thicken slightly.
