Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot, lying flat and not overlapping for even cooking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the creamy parmesan cheese, cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and herbs. Stir until well blended and creamy.
  3. Pour the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
  4. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to low heat for 6 to 7 hours or high heat for about 4 hours.
  5. After the cooking time, check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir well.
  7. Spoon the tender chicken over a bed of pasta or rice and garnish as desired before serving.
