Remove the chicken, tent it with foil, and set aside. Add the cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese to the liquid. Turn the slow cooker to high, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Whisk the sauce until smooth. If the sauce hasn't thickened enough, whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch, see note for specific directions. Return the chicken to the crockpot, spooning the sauce over it. Serve over pasta and enjoy.

Notes

Slow Cooker: This recipe was tested in a 6 quarter slow cooker.

Adding Cornstarch: If at the end, the sauce is not thick enough, remove about half a cup of the sauce. Then whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch into the hot sauce you've taken out to make a slurry. Whisk until it is smooth. Return this to the crockpot before adding the chicken back in.
