Ingredients

In a small bowl, combine salt, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes and pepper. Season chicken breasts with spice mixture, coating all sides.
Add chicken broth and garlic to a 6- or 7-qt. slow cooker. Stir the minced garlic into the broth. Add chicken and sun-dried tomatoes.
Cover; cook on low until a digital thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°, 2-3 hours.
Remove chicken and the sun-dried tomatoes; set aside. Pour cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a heatproof measuring cup (there should be 1 to 1-1/2 cups); set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When bubbling, whisk in flour, salt and pepper. Whisk until roux is thickened, 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in warmed heavy cream and reserved cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer until thickened, whisking constantly, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted; stir in spinach. Pour sauce into the slow cooker; set back to low. Add chicken breasts and sun-dried tomatoes. Spoon sauce over the chicken; cook until warm, about 10 minutes.
Place portions of hot cooked pasta, rice or mashed potatoes on dinner plates. Top with chicken and sauce; sprinkle with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
