How to Make Crockpot Creamy Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
Salt and pepper to taste
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon corn starch
2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic (about 4-6 cloves)

Directions:
