Instructions
Creating this delicious Crockpot Tuscan Chicken is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Place the Chicken: Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Pour Sauce: Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Add Spinach: Gently add the fresh spinach on top of the sauce. It will wilt down during cooking.
6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shredded.
7. Add Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and sauce for added creaminess.
8. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return it to the sauce and mix well.
9. Garnish: Serve your Crockpot Tuscan Chicken garnished with fresh basil if desired.
These straightforward steps will reward you with a deliciously rich and creamy dinner that feels like a warm hug on a plate.
