Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 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

 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sauce:
    Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
    Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  2. Season the Chicken:
    Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Top with sun-dried tomatoes.
  3. Add the Sauce:
    Reduce heat to low and whisk in Parmesan cheese, adding 1/4 cup at a time until smooth. Pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Slow Cook:
    Cover and cook on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 6-8 hours until the chicken is tender.
  5. Add Spinach:
    Remove the chicken and set it aside. Stir chopped spinach into the slow cooker, allowing it to wilt for a few minutes.
  6. Serve:
    Return the chicken to the slow cooker, spooning sauce, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes over the top. Serve warm.
