Make easy Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken! Tender chicken breasts in a rich sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan
Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 1.5 – 2 lbs total)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium recommended)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil, for garnish
These quantities yield a flavorful sauce coating for 4 chicken breasts.
Have garlic minced and tomatoes chopped before starting.
Let’s walk through this incredibly easy slow cooker process:
1. Combine Sauce Base in Slow Cooker:
In the insert of your slow cooker, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk or stir together well.
2. Add Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts into the sauce mixture in the slow cooker. Spoon some of the cream mixture over the top of the chicken to ensure it’s mostly coated.
3. Cook:
Cover the slow cooker securely with the lid.
Cook on the LOW heat setting for 6-7 hours OR on the HIGH heat setting for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
4. Add Spinach and Parmesan:
During the last 30 minutes of cooking time, stir the fresh spinach leaves and the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce in the slow cooker.
Stir gently to combine until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts into the sauce. Replace the lid and finish cooking for the remaining time.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Once cooking is complete, taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the hot Creamy Tuscan Chicken and its sauce, garnished generously with chopped fresh basil. Serve over pasta or rice if desired.
