Creamy Slow-Cooker Tuscan Chicken

Steps to make Creamy Slow-Cooker Tuscan Chicken

1. 1

   Cook garlic

   1
   

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 6 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

2. 2

   Add heavy cream and chicken broth

   10
   

   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.

4. 3

   Place chicken in slow cooker

   2
   

   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.

5. 4

   Add cheese to sauce

   2
   

   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.

6. 5

   Pour sauce over chicken

   2
   

   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.

7. 6

   Cook

   4h
   

   Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.

8. 7

   Remove chicken

   2
   

   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.

9. 8

   Add spinach

   3
   

   Turn the slow cooker on high and add 2 cups chopped fresh spinach and stir. Cook for a few minutes, until the spinach wilts.

10. 9
