    1. Rinse the chicken breasts well under running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Lay them on a cutting board and cut out any bones and peel off the skin, if there is any. For easy handling, cut each breast lengthwise into two even halves. 2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, ground black pepper, and Italian herbs. Rub the mixture thoroughly all over the chicken breasts. 3. Place the seasoned breasts in the bottom of the slow-cooker pot. Pour in the chicken broth. Peel the garlic, press it, and scatter it over the chicken. Set the slow cooker to "Bake" and set the timer for 15–25 minutes, depending on how powerful your machine is. 4. When the timer goes off, lift the chicken breasts out onto a plate. Strain the broth left in the pot through a sieve and pour it back in. 5. In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream (25–35% fat) with the corn starch until smooth. Rinse the hot red chili, remove the stem and seeds, and finely chop the flesh. Stir the chopped chili into the cream, along with a little pesto. Mix well and pour it into the pot with the strained broth. Set the slow cooker to "Bake" or "Stew" for about 7–10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to the consistency you want. Then return the chicken breasts to the pot and cook everything together for another 3–4 minutes. Turn off the slow cooker and let the meat rest in the sauce for a bit. Serve the chicken breasts generously spooned with the cream sauce. This dish is best with spaghetti. Enjoy!
