Ingredients

Chicken and Coating

  • 650 g Skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 4 pieces, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 30 g Plain flour
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 3 Garlic cloves (peeled and crushed)
  • 100 g Sun dried tomatoes (drained and very finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 300 ml Boiling water
  • 1 Chicken stock cube (undiluted, crumbled)
  • 100 g Cream cheese
  • 50 g Parmesan (grated)
  • 15 g Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Coat the Chicken: Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces in the plain flour along with plenty of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the coated chicken pieces into the slow cooker. Add the crushed garlic, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, paprika, crumbled chicken stock cube, and boiling water. Stir gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Set the slow cooker to HIGH and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or choose LOW and cook for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
  4. Add Creamy Finishing Touches: Just before serving, stir in the cream cheese, grated Parmesan, and fresh basil leaves until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat version, consider using reduced-fat cream cheese and Parmesan.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
  • The paprika adds a subtle smoky depth—feel free to adjust the amount to your taste preference.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
