In a large mixing bowl add in your favorite Alfredo Sauce, grate parmesan cheese, chicken broth, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp. Whisk together until throughly combined, then set aside.
Add 1/4 chopped yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic minced and 2 tbsp olive oil to a large frying pan. Heat at medium heat for 2 minutes– occasionally mixing.
While the garlic and onion is sautéing, season each side of your boneless skinless chicken breast with salt, pepper and dried basil.
Add the chicken breasts to the frying pan and sear the chicken breasts on each side for 3 minutes each. During the searing cover frying pan with fit lid or aluminum foil to seal in the heat.
While the chicken breasts are searing, grease the inside of your 4 qt crock pot. Then pour about 1/3 of the Alfredo mixture at the bottom of the Crock Pot.

You sure can, however we LOVE Rao’s Alfredo Sauce and truly feel it is the best

I have not used chicken thighs in this recipe, however I will make sure I try it with them as well! If you do, you will want to cook chicken thighs a bit longer about 30 mins to 60 mins, so keep eye!

Is this Easy Crock Pot Tuscan Chicken recipe gluten free?
