Description
A cozy, hands-off comfort food featuring tender chicken in a creamy Parmesan sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5–2 pounds total)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed recommended)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked pasta of your choice, for serving
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer.
- Scatter the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic evenly over the chicken.
- Add the fresh spinach on top and sprinkle the Italian seasoning, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the heavy cream over the entire mixture so everything is mostly covered.
- Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, until the chicken is tender and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- About 10–15 minutes before serving, stir in the grated Parmesan until melted into the sauce.
- Serve spooned over cooked pasta and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, sear the chicken before slow cooking. Use fresh spinach for best results, and adjust the sauce thickness with cream or cornstarch if needed.
