Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil (from the jar)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cold water
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
- Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer. Drizzle with the sun-dried tomato oil and season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Scatter the minced garlic and julienned sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the chicken to avoid washing off the seasonings.
- Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours until the chicken is tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook for an additional 20 minutes on High to allow the sauce to thicken and emulsify.
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice and garnish with fresh basil chiffonade before serving.
