Pour in the heavy cream and blend until smooth (a hand blender works well if you have one).

Stir in a small amount of cornstarch to help thicken the sauce.

Nestle the chicken breasts into the sauce.

Cover and cook on low for 3–5 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Finish with grated parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh basil.
