Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14 oz
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves chopped
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, heavy cream, onion, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring it coats all the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and stir everything together before serving.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've had great success swapping the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk when I'm looking for a dairy-free option, it adds a lovely subtle sweetness too.
