Time 4h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

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!
