In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and flour.

Add this mixture to a crockpot.

Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and paprika. Gently mix to combine these ingredients.

Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and top the chicken with the sun dried tomatoes and butter.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-3.5 hours until the chicken is cooked through.

Stir the heavy whipping cream into the crockpot for the last 60 minutes if cooking on low or 30 minutes if cooking on high.
