Time 4h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

14 oz can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
3/4 cup tomato pasta sauce
3/4 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Steps:

Add tomatoes and pasta sauce to a 3-6 quart slow cooker.
Whisk together cream and corn starch and add to the slow cooker. Stir in garlic, salt, basil and pepper.
Add chicken breasts and press down into the sauce.
Cook on low for 3-5 hours, until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. The exact cook time will depend on your slow cooker -- a fuller slow cooker will take longer to cook, so a larger one will cook faster.
Stir in fresh basil and serve over pasta, rice, or with a salad and veggies!

JENNIE'S HEAVENLY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN

Jennie's Heavenly Slow Cooker Chicken image

This is the best chicken slow cooker recipe ever, and I've tried a lot of them. I can't remember where I originally got it from; my version has been tweaked a little. I don't like mushrooms, but the mushrooms in the condensed soup are really big and easy to take out. Serve over hot cooked rice.
