Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
  2. Combine garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth in a small bowl.
  3. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts to ensure even distribution.
  4. Cook on low heat for four hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese after the four-hour mark.
  6. Add the fresh baby spinach to the pot and stir until wilted.
  7. Serve the chicken immediately while the sauce remains warm and creamy.

Notes

Sear the chicken breasts in a pan for two minutes per side before placing them in the crockpot for extra depth of flavor. Use full-fat parmesan cheese to ensure the sauce thickens correctly during the final step. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
