Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker For cooking the chicken
  • Mixing Bowl For stirring in cream and cheese

Method
 

  1. Place chicken in the slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Add minced garlic and sliced sun-dried tomatoes on top of the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Stir in heavy cream, grated parmesan, and fresh spinach. Cook uncovered for another 15–20 minutes until sauce thickens and spinach wilts.
  5. Serve warm over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes with extra parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use kale instead of spinach for a heartier green.
  • Thighs will stay juicier, but breasts work great too.
  • Add mushrooms or chopped artichokes for variety.
