- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (10.75 oz)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, and softened cream cheese until smooth to form the sauce.
- Stir in the drained sun-dried tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optionally red pepper flakes into the sauce mixture.
- Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, coating them completely.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.

Notes
Optional searing of chicken before slow cooking enhances flavor. Add vegetables in last hour for extra nutrition. Adjust heat with red pepper flakes as desired.
