This Italian-style Creamy Slow-Cooker Tuscan Chicken recipe turns humble chicken breasts into a spectacular dinner. The chicken is slow-cooked until it is incredibly tender and juicy, allowing it to absorb all the bold and complex flavors from the sauce. Hearty and flavorful, this homemade Tuscan chicken is the perfect comfort meal.
Serve this saucy chicken dish with your side of choice: Crusty bread is the most traditional way to enjoy this ultra-comforting dish, but Mediterranean butter rice, sheet-pan roasted vegetables, cooked green beans, zucchini butter polenta, or creamy polenta with asparagus all work beautifully.
To make this Creamy Slow-Cooker Tuscan Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 6 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add in 1 cup heavy cream and ⅓ cup sodium-reduced chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then set the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is still thin, but thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, place 4 large boneless skinless chicken at the bottom of your slow cooker. Season with 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning and sea salt and black pepper to taste. Top with ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
Once the sauce is ready, keep it at low heat, but not simmering. Stir in ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup at a time, until smooth. Taste and adjust for salt if needed.
Carefully pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker. Make sure to get as much sauce as possible on top of the chicken and less on the bottom.
Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside. The sauce in the slow cooker will be thin because of the juices released by the chicken.
Turn the slow cooker on high and add 2 cups chopped fresh spinach and stir. Cook for a few minutes, until the spinach wilts.
Return the chicken to the slow cooker. Spoon the liquid, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken.
Serve with your side of choice.
