Description
My creamy Crock Pot Tuscan chicken has a rich sauce with garlic, parmesan, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Super easy in the slow cooker!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Chicken broth, reduced sodium
- 3/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped, packed)
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Step 2: Add the cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Step 3: Place the chicken in the bottom of your Crock Pot. Season with Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. Top with sun-dried tomatoes.
- Step 4: When the sauce has thickened a bit, turn down the heat to low. Whisk or stir in the parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup at a time, until smooth. Adjust salt to your taste if needed.
- Step 5: Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Step 6: Cook for 3-4 hours on High or 6-8 hours on Low.
- Step 7: Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside.
- Step 8: Turn the slow cooker on High, if it isn’t already. Add the chopped spinach and stir for a few minutes, until the spinach wilts.
- Step 9: Return the chicken to the slow cooker, and spoon the liquid, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes on top, or just pour them over the chicken to serve.
