- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
How to make Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken
- Lightly spray the slow cooker insert with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Season the 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 3 minced garlic cloves over the chicken.
- Pour 1 cup chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle 1 tbsp Italian seasoning over the entire contents of the slow cooker.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 6-8 hours, or on the HIGH setting for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
- Carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker and place them on a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks.
- While the chicken rests, stir 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese into the liquid remaining in the slow cooker until smooth and creamy.
- Add the 5 ounces fresh spinach to the slow cooker and stir until it wilts, which typically takes about 5 minutes. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and toss to coat it evenly in the creamy Tuscan sauce.
- Serve the creamy Tuscan chicken hot, garnished with 2 tbsp fresh chopped basil, alongside pasta, rice, or crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.
