Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato Basil Chicken

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 4 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients

14 oz can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs (398 ml)

1 cup tomato pasta sauce

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon dried basil

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup evaporated milk or heavy cream

2 tablespoons corn starch

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Directions

Add tomatoes, pasta sauce, garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, basil and pepper to a 3-6 quart slow cooker. Stir.

Whisk together cream and corn starch and add to the slow cooker.

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!
